Picture of the day

Hotel Astoria is a five-star hotel located on Saint Isaac's Square in Saint Petersburg. Commissioned in 1910 by the Palace Hotel Company to host visitors to the Romanov tercentenary, the hotel was designed by Fyodor Lidval and first opened in 1912. After the October Revolution, it continued to be used as a state-operated hotel, though during World War II it was also a field hospital. The hotel, now owned by Rocco Forte Hotels, has been renovated several times, most recently in 2012.Photograph: Florstein

Name?

I would be interested in a sentence or two as to how the hotel came by this appellation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:AD8E:7AE0:171:B77D (talk) 00:03, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
