History

Hotel "Donbass" was built in 1938 upon the plans of N. Rechanikov and A.Shuvalova. During the construction phase, the project was redesigned by N. Porkhunov.[5] Panteley Tamurov supervised construction. During the Nazi occupation of Donetsk, the Gestapo was headquartered in the hotel; the building was partially destroyed during the war.[6] From 1947 to 1949, the building was renovated, but the dome was not restored due to lack of funds. In 1971, the Donbas National Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture conducted restoration works.[7] The hotel was considered an architectural monument of the Donetsk region. On February 26, 2001, the old building was blown up. On May 15, 2004, the five star hotel "Donbass Palace" was opened. The new building slightly differs from the original. Currently, Donbass Palace is owned by ESTA Group, which operates the real estate business of System Capital Management group.
