Bristol Hotel (Russian: Бристоль) is a hotel in Odessa, Ukraine. Built between 1898 and 1899 to designs by Alexander Bernadazzi and Adolf Minkus, it is located in the city centre in Pushkinskaya Street, opposite the Odessa Philharmonic Theater.[1][2] The hotel is in a mixed renaissance and baroque style.,[2] with Baroque classical statues and marble white columns facing the street. It has 113 rooms and is one of the city's notable landmarks.[1]

After the Soviet revolution, the hotel closed in 1917. It sat vacant for some time, eventually serving as offices from 1922 to 1925. It reopened in 1928, but in the Soviet Union it seemed inappropriate for the hotel to be named after a major city in England, so it was renamed the Hotel Krasnaya (meaning "Red" in Russian) for the Red banner of the Revolution.[3] The hotel closed in 2002 and underwent a lengthy restoration, reopening under its original name on December 15, 2010.
