Hotel Moskva in Belgrade is one of the city's most well-known landmarks. Located in the city center, it has been a symbol of Serbia's artistic contribution dating back to 1908. The hotel was designed by architect Jovan Ilkić and, with its colorful Russian secession/art nouveau aesthetic, emanates Grand Hotel Budapest (2014) energy. 

What makes this hotel a particular must-visit is its enigmatic architecture. It is also historically and culturally significant to the city. The hotel has been visited by a plethora of politicians, artists, movie directors and celebrities, including Albert Einstein, Indira Gandhi, Leonid Brezhnev, Richard Nixon, and Sophia Loren.

Known among the locals, the hotel has undergone many different periods and associations. Montenegrins in tracksuits were once known to laze around in the outside part of its restaurant, smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee in eternal summers. It also used to be a kafana that served both Serbian and French cuisine. Under Nazi occupation, the hotel was once a headquarters for the gestapo. Endless stories about the hotel, combined with its unique appearance, make it a unique talking point amongst Belgraders of different generations.
