Location and history
In 2005, the network hotel operator NELIOPARK Group took three historical objects of Old Pskov and created an authentic hotel on their basis. As part of the network, it existed until 2011. Then it became an independent unit of the hospitality sphere of Pskov. The main mission of the leadership is to attract the attention of guests to the spiritual values of the ancient city. The monuments of the historical center are within walking distance of the hotel. The very atmosphere inside the hotel reminds of the former greatness and wealth of the Russian state.
Hotel premises are located in three historically significant architectural objects. The house of the merchant Statin is an architectural monument of early classicism. This is the only house in Russia that has survived from the time of construction (late 17th century) in its original form. It was not altered, reconstructed, renovated. The second building is the former apartment house of Kamenskaya (1860). The third building – a stone podyzbitsa tentatively built in the 14th century. It served as a stone basement. Today it stores bottles of elite wine.
The nearest airport is. Princess Olga or Kresty (former name) is located 3.5 km from the center of Pskov.

“Great idea to combine historic buildings with a hotel. It has long been known that houses do not turn into ruins only when people live in them. Builders competently used the existing galleries and passages to connect the complex together. So there was a swimming pool, a spa center with numerous treatment rooms.
