The French hotel with the famous Chevalier Restaurant, located on Kamergerskiy Pereulok, was renowned among the aristocracy. The building, constructed between 1830 and 1840 on the site of an old one that burned down in 1812, belonged to the merchant Hippolyte Chevalier. Externally unremarkable, the building was known for its luxurious interiors and exquisite French cuisine. The hotel's owners created a slice of French elegance in Moscow. The hotel had a brief but vibrant existence, hosting notable figures such as Tolstoy, Nekrasov, Pushchin, Fet, and Grigorovich. It was later replaced by the 'Novoe Vremya' commercial apartment building. In 1879, a temporary addition for the studio of the Imperial Theatres' photographer, Kanarsky, was installed on the roof. In the 1950s, the 1st floor housed 'Moskkniga' Bookstore, while the 2nd floor had two communal apartments. Later, the Moscow Union of Artists' studios were located here until they were relocated in 1999. Today, the property is a regional cultural heritage monument.
