Location

Virmenska Street is one of the oldest in Lviv. Once the main street of the Armenian quarter, it is now lined with galleries and cafés. About 125 metres from our door stands the Armenian Cathedral, painted inside by Jan Henryk Rosen in the 1920s, with a peaceful courtyard and a column of St Christopher from 1726. Further along is the Virmenka café: it opened in 1979, became a meeting place for artists, and brews its coffee in hot sand. And in our own house, GUNIA Project sells Ukrainian design rooted in traditional crafts.

The story of the house

For centuries, our stretch of Virmenska Street was known as Bakers’ Street.

Two old houses stand here side by side. No. 4 was first recorded in the town’s tax registers in 1535; at the end of the 16th century it belonged to a shoemaker named Obukh, and it is still known by his name. In the 17th century, No. 6 next door belonged to an Armenian priest.

In No. 4, a rebuilding left its date on a ceiling beam: 20 March 1722, carved back to front, probably because the carver laid his pattern the wrong way round. After a fire in 1848, the house was rebuilt; around 1909 it was linked inside to No. 6, and by 1927 a city guide listed a hotel here, the Ziemiański. Since September 2013, it has been Rudolfo.

Good to know

Shelter and power

The hotel has its own shelter for guests and staff, open day or night whenever there is an alert. We recommend going there even at the yellow level. During every alert, a member of staff is in the building to show the way. In a power cut, the generator keeps the whole hotel running for several days: lights, heating, hot water, lift and Wi-Fi.
