VIP Room in Pinsk — Grand Pinsk Hotel

In the VIP Room, a carefully exposed section of historic wall reveals the original brickwork beneath layers of plaster, paint and other finishes. The arch that once provided access to the courtyard also survives: carts passed beneath it bringing provisions to Basevich's house. The vaulted brick ceiling dates from the building's construction. Some find it unusual; others fall in love with it and dream of recreating it at home. This type of ceiling is known as a volta catalana, or Catalan vault. Brick-vaulting techniques go back to ancient Rome, creating strong structures capable of supporting the weight of the floor above. Catalan vaults were favoured by celebrated Modernist architects, including Antoni Gaudí, whose aversion to straight lines made this traditional technique a natural choice. In 1921, a great fire destroyed a third of Pinsk. Only the building's brick walls remained, while its timber structure was lost. Traces of that fire can still be seen in the walls. The scorched brick speaks of resilience through time and adversity. These features make our VIP Room a particularly special part of the hotel. Guests who have stayed here often feel its quiet influence. Now you, too, can experience the history held within the walls of Grand Pinsk Hotel.
