History
The Bayangol hotel was constructed in 1964 and one of the tallest buildings in Mongolia at the time. Chinese construction firm built various large projects around Ulaanbaatar in the 1960s, which included the Ulan Bator hotel, the state department store, the central post office (on the corner of Sukhbaatar Square), (part of) the Bayangol Hotel. In 1991, "Bayangol Hotel" JSC was transformed into a private enterprise through the privatization of government land and became the first privatized hotel. During the Soviet Era, Mongolia was no paradise for foreigners with hard currency, because hard-currency hotel and transport charges for foreigners are high, calculated at something close to the official exchange rate and, no matter how favorable the unofficial rate, there is practically nothing to be bought with tughriks, except postage stamps, occasional trinkets, and books.In the Hotel Bayangols restaurant and bar, change was routinely made with U.S. coins. Any traditional elements of the Mongol empire and Genghis Khan were repressed but the gift shop at the Hotel Bayangol sells a black scroll printed in gold with a portrait of Chinggis Khan at the top and provides a slip with an English translation of the patriotic poem that is lettered in the ancient script "My sacred Lord--the great emperor born by the will of the lofty eternal blue sky Even were I to relax, let my powerful nation never be disunited". After the fall of USSR, where the country still had immense soviet influences, Ulaanbaatar was littered with soviet statues depicting of Lenin nearby Bayangol Hotel and Ulaanbaatar Hotel, two of the largest hotels in the country where foreigners would stay. There has been pushbacks against having communist elements directly next to where foreign travels would stay and Anti-Russian sentiments raised in the 90s. The Hotel was able to achieve 4 star later on and hosts an array of amenities for travelers and remains in service to this day.
