Legend

Would you like to look into the past and see the future? Welcome to Vozdvyzhensky, the hotel at the crossing of times!

Andreevsky uzviz is a heart of Kiev. It’s a steep, meandering and original street.

This pitched road whirls among the green hills and old houses. The view from here is stunning: Andreevska Church, Podol, and the vast expanses of sprawled Dnieper-river... The soul is hovering over the world, and feeling like giving it something lofty and eternal…

This astonishing place was blessed by Andrey the Apostle. Here you can look into the past and see the future. Thousands and thousands lives of those who have left their words in history are deeply intertwined here. Those people believed in what they were doing, and their dreams became true.

Over than 200 years ago on the slopes of the Andreevsky hill was laid the Apothecary Garden. The plants for Kiev drugstores were cultivated there. Naturally, the place for this garden was selected as scrupulously as the place for a temple. Now the hotel Vozdvyzhensky is situated here. And we want to revive the Apothecary Garden – this existing connection between our forefathers and posterity. And something will grow here, and life will repeat itself again…

For ages, trade has been getting along with art in Andreevska Street. Lively Vozdvyzhenska Street used to be the shortest way from the Upper Town to the Zhitny Rynok. Here lived workers, smiths, weavers, there were lots of stores. Here the common things were used to be produced; here the beauty was used to appear... The merchants took the artworks and brought them to the foreign cities and lands. That’s how beauty was ruling the world…

Andreevsky uzviz, as well as Montmartre in Paris, is a place for the artistic circle. Ferenz List, Ludwig van Beethoven, Balzac, Pushkin, Gogol used to come here to gain some inspiration. Bulgakov lived here. He like nobody else understood the magical essence of this place. Sure! Every artist left here a small part of his soul, and gained an impulse for his creation instead.

“Vozdvyzhensky” – is indispensable participant of cultural life: here are exhibited the pictures of the famous masters and the artworks of those artists who aren’t widely-recognized yet. It’s also possible to observe unique collections and paintings from the private ones… Every dream comes true here…
