I'm back in the big Russian cities Moscow ...! Also this time I am not here as a tourist, so the time at my disposal is very limited .... The memory of its historical wonders still alive, I was here just a year ago as my previous story describes the journey.
The sight that gives me the room at this hotel, the Crowne Plaza, located in the Expo Center, is truly amazing ... the beautiful scenery that opens my eyes is dominated by a large body of water, the Moskva River, on whose banks stands the Hotel Ukraina, historic hotel, opened in 1957 as one of seven sisters, seven famous skyscrapers built Soviet-Stalinist. Completely renovated in 2002 and consists of 860 rooms on 34 floors distribute Ben! The original decor has been preserved and its interior has works of contemporary art. He is currently closed for redevelopment.
My eyes can not help but be attracted to a boat curious, colorful and quite heavy ... a cargo ship docked at the pier, perhaps? Or a barge for tourists? I can not to guess, I ask the Russians ... it is the Alexander Blok Hotel Casino Nightclub! Moscow, certainly one of the few cities to have a hotel inside a floating casino on the Moskva River, curiosity satisfied, but who would have thought?
