HoteLux KGB BAR

The Hotel Lux was founded around 1910 under a different name in Moscow. It was a hotel with particularly luxurious products and a bourgeois interior with a lot of pomp. As early as 1917, the Russian revolutionaries under Lenin took over the hotel, called it Hotel Lux (probably with regard to the Latin meaning: light), and made it the meeting place for top international communist functionaries. During World War II, the communist and socialist party leaders from the occupied countries lived here. At that time the Hotel Lux was a state within the state with its own care and infirmary. Care was taken to ensure that only selected people entered this house. They received a Propusk (ID).
