The first six-level building has been decorating a central Vinnytsia street since 1913. Modern with Neo-Baroque elements is the main stylistic idea of an ivory white building constructed under the supervision of city architect Hrihorii Artynov under the name of the Savoy Hotel. It has appeared thanks to a dream of local merchant Berish Lekhtman who wished to build a hotel that would impress city inhabitants and guests.

The economic rise and inflow of visitors stimulated an active development of Vinnytsia infrastructure, and at the beginning of the XX century more than a dozen hotels appeared in the city, and the Savoy Hotel became top-of-the-range among them. Central water supply, heating, wastewater disposal, and electric light were unimaginable, at those times, comfort facilities that made the hotel a legend. Apart from rooms, hotel guests could visit a restaurant, a hairdresser’s, a baker’s shop, and a floral shop. There was an interior garden on the attic floor, and from openwork balconies, guests could have a sweeping view of the Southern Buh and the Old city. Honored guests of the hotel - famous aircraft constructor Igor Sikorskyi, outstanding choral conductor and composer Oleksandr Koshyts, and others – did not hide their sincere admiration.
The further destiny of the building corresponds to its progressiveness and visual sublimity. In 1919 the Directorate was arranged just over here when Vinnytsia became a temporary capital of the Ukrainian People's Republic. Important meetings, negotiations, and decisions - the walls of this luxurious building will bear this milestone in the history of the country in memory forever.
In Soviet times the legendary hotel belonged to the trade union and was transformed into the Palace of Labor. But the main challenge was ahead: a devastating fire broke out during the expulsion of the Nazis from Vinnytsia. In 1953 the hotel was renovated and later it obtained the name “Ukraine”, sometimes being called “The Blue Pearl” (due to a new color of walls)
2012 became a landmark year for the Savoy Hotel: after the restoration works have been completed it got its original color and historical name. Nowadays the 7th Administrative Court of Appeal is located in this building.
