World's largest hotel by number of rooms - HOTEL IZMAILOVO

HOTEL IZMAILOVO

The Izmailovo Hotel is a group of hotels located near Izmailovo village in the Izmaylovo District of Moscow, Russia. The property consists of four buildings containing 7,000 to 7,500 rooms,making it the world's largest hotel by number of units.

It was built for the 1980 Summer Olympics, because the city, like most others in Eastern Europe, lacked enough quality hotel space during the 1970s. This was partially because of the existence of internal passports, which limited the right of free people movement. Currently it is generally a three star hotel. The nearest subway station is Партизанская (Partizanskaya),  known before 2005 as 

"Измайловский парк (Izmailovsky Park)"

During the 1980 Moscow Olympics the complex was used to accommodate many of the athletes attending the games and although not centrally located, the hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms at very reasonable rates. Just across the road from Izmailovsky Park Metro Station where trains will whisk you in twenty minutes to Red Square, the Kremlin and all the other fascinating places of interest in Moscow (the hotel is 6 stops from Red Square and the center of the city). Of particularly interest to tourists, is the neighbouring Izmailovo Weekend market (the Vernisage as it is known operates on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year (wrap up in the Winter!) and prices are excellent in comparison to other tourist venues in Moscow), one of the city's major tourist attractions due to its extensive array of traditional Russian gifts and souvenirs from the country.

The Izmailovo Hotel Complex renovated in 1998 is an excellent choice for the more budget-conscious traveler and offers its 4 main 30 floors buildings (blocks):

Alfa, Beta, Vega, Gamma-Delta (28 floors and 2000 rooms of different types). More than 10 thousand tourists can be accommodated in 7500 rooms of the Izmailovo Hotels in one time.

General Information: The enormous Izmailovo Hotel complex was built in 1979 on the site of the historic Izmailovo village and Royal Estate, whose remaining buildings are clustered just a 10-minute walk east of the hotel. Owned by the Romanov boyars since the 16th century, the estate was the favorite retreat of Tsar Alexei and his son, the future Emperor Peter The Great. Peter spent much of his childhood there and was taught how to sail on the Estate lake, an early passion for sailing that grew and eventually led him to not only found the Russian Navy and launch Russia as a great European Naval power, but build the great port city of St. Petersburg on the shores of the Gulf of Finland.
