Primorskaya Hotel, Sochi

Primorskaya Hotel opened in 1936 and was designed by architect Jan A. The building is easy to recognize by its symmetrical design, thick walls, and high ceilings. For many years, it served as a major seaside hotel and hosted writers, artists, and official guests. The original structure is now protected as a historical monument and still keeps its 1930s appearance.

In the 2020s, the site began a major reconstruction by LSR Group. Early plans expected some work to finish by 2025, but later updates moved full completion to 2027. The project includes the restored historic building and two new 28-story towers, which are still under construction as of early 2026.

The finished complex is planned to include 652 rooms and apartment-style units, a higher number than earlier estimates. Modern features include spa areas, a year-round swimming pool, fitness facilities, and a helipad. The hotel remains about 100–200 meters from the sea, with direct access to the seaside promenade. Dining venues are planned within the complex, and Sel Marin is often used as a nearby reference point. In 2026, visitors should expect ongoing construction as the hotel prepares for full operation.
