Chaika

The Chaika Business Hotel is located in a historic building dating back to 1908, constructed according to the design of architect Friedrich Heitmann — the main creator of the Amalienau district. The district was conceived as a “garden city”: with winding streets, spacious villas and an abundance of greenery — and it still retains the aristocratic atmosphere of old Königsberg.

It was in this building that the first hotel in Kaliningrad, Hotel No. 1, opened after the war. Later, it was known as “Baltika,” and since 1976 it has been called “Chaika.” It is noteworthy that even during its construction, the mansion was equipped with an elevator — a rare feature for that time, which has been preserved and continues to serve guests today.

In 2008, the mansion was carefully reconstructed, and in early 2026, a large‑scale renovation was completed: the interiors were updated while preserving the historical atmosphere. At the same time, the hotel opened the “Hotel No. 1” museum — a space where guests can truly feel the history of the city.
