Dresden Hotel
the "Dresden"
also: Дрезден, "Dresden"
A Moscow hotel mentioned by Chekhov as the more expensive establishment offering stove heating (as opposed to steam heating), and where government ministers customarily put up; noted here only in passing while Chekhov surveys lodging options at the Loskutnaya for Suvorin's upcoming visit.
Reading notes
- To A. S. Suvorin, 6 January 1889. Moscow. §4 Stove heating is to be had only at the "Dresden," where the ministers put up.
The "Dresden" is named here only in passing, as the pricier alternative to the Loskutnaya that Chekhov is scouting for Suvorin's stay -- distinguished by old-fashioned stove heating and its clientele of visiting government ministers, versus the Loskutnaya's steam heating.
