CORINTHIA NEVSKIJ PALACE (57 Nevsky Prospect). Constructed as an apartment house in 1861-62, with a previously existing building included into the design (architect A.I. Lange) In 1913-14, it was rebuilt to be the Tsesarevitch Nicholas Vocational School's apartment house (architect V.N. Bobrov). Until 1917, the building housed the Ampir Cinema. The Hermes Hotel was established here in 1920-57 (renamed Baltiiskaya in 1958). In 1989-93, the building was reconstructed (architect Y.I. Zemtsov and others); in May 1993, the Nevskij Palace Hotel was opened. The building at 8 Stremyannaya Street was also included in the hotel complex (1834, architect M.I. Lange; rebuilt in 1858, architect I.I. Zim). From September 1997, the hotel was known as the Sheraton Nevskij Palace; the hotel acquired its present name in January 2002.
