Surprisingly, the Demetra Art Hotel is not just a new modern hotel, but also a significant example of the history of St. Petersburg. The completely renovated hotel building is on the country's historical heritage list. The house was born in 1913 as a profitable house, that is, residential. Its architect, Wilhelm Van Der Gucht, is one of the brightest representatives of late eclecticism and modernism in the architecture of the early 20th century. In St. Petersburg, he built mostly apartment buildings, but he built them in such a way that many of them are recognized as architectural masterpieces. Among them is house number 44 on Vosstaniya Street. By the way, during the time of Wilhelm Ivanovich, the street named after the 1917 revolution was called Znamenskaya - after the Znamenskaya Church, which was erected at the end of the 18th century at the behest of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. The church itself has not survived to this day - its place was taken by the lobby of the Ploshchad Vosstaniya metro station, but almost all the historical buildings on the way from Nevsky to Kirochnaya have been preserved, so the road to the hotel is a short but exciting walk.
