For decades this was Minsk's hotel of choice, but it was eclipsed long ago. The rooms are somewhat squashy but sparkling clean, with flat-screen TVs and desks for business travellers. Front-facing rooms, with views of the glorious Central Post Office building, are preferred. You'll get a 10% discount at weekends. Breakfast costs BYN29.
The rich history of the hotel dating back to the '50s is documented in black-and-white photos lining the central staircase.
