“Villa Elena” is a five-story hotel in Yalta near the embankment. Construction of the villa was completed by the autumn of 1912. At the time of construction it was the tallest building in Yalta. The hotel had its own park and elevator. From 1912 to 1918, Villa Elena hosted noble people as a 1st class hotel.
