Hotel Ukraine

Hotel Ukraine is an upscale landmark hotel at Heroiv Nebesnoi Sotni Alley 4, overlooking Maidan Nezalezhnosti, Kyiv's central square. The tall Stalin-era tower, completed in the early 1960s in the monumental Soviet classical style, is one of the most recognisable silhouettes on the city skyline and stands at the top of the Instytutska Street slope beside the government quarter. The hotel's position is among the most central in Kyiv: Maidan Nezalezhnosti metro and the Khreshchatyk avenue are a few minutes on foot, the Heroiv Nebesnoi Sotni Alley memorial to the Revolution of Dignity is directly outside, and the Verkhovna Rada, Mariinsky Park and the Upper Town can all be reached on foot. The building has strong historical associations, having stood at the centre of events on the square in 2014, which gives it particular interest for visitors studying modern Ukrainian history. Rooms are listed as Standard Double Rooms, Superior Rooms, Family Rooms and Suites, and the upper floors are valued for views across the square and the Dnipro slopes. Listed amenities include wifi, air conditioning, a 24-hour reception and an on-site restaurant, where breakfast is typically served in a large hall in the traditional grand-hotel style. Compared with the glass international brands in the Upper Town, the interiors are more classical and the service character is that of a large established city hotel used by delegations, business visitors and tourists who want to be at the heart of the action. Family Rooms make it workable for travellers with children. The listing gives rates of about UAH 4,500 to 7,500 per night (roughly USD 100-165). Because the square is the focus of public gatherings, events and security cordons can affect access, so guests should confirm conditions and hotel status before travelling.
