Grand Hotel in Rostov-on-Don is a former hotel located in Rostov-on-Don (city and administrative center of Rostov oblast). It was burned down in 1911.

The building of the Grand Hotel (the Kuznetsov hotel, named after Nikolay Kuznetsov, its the second owner) was built in the second half of the 19th century and was located in Rostov-on-Don at the northeast corner of the intersection of Bolshaya Sadovaya Street and Taganrog Avenue (now Budyonnovsky Prospekt). Levtunovsky was the first owner of the hotel. It was one of the most beautiful three-storey brick buildings of old Rostov.

For a long time, the Grand Hotel, located in the tenement building of Alexander Petrov and Alexandra Petrova, has been regarded as the main hotel of the city. Ordinarily traveling salesman, manufacturers (cloth merchants), rich cocottes and foreigners stayed here.

The house had a garden, a lot of terraces, porches and galleries. The building was supplied by electricity. Also there was a restaurant, a reading hall, public telephones, shower and baths in the house. In the shopping stalls rows of the first floor placed some firms and workshops: Bakhsimyants' wine cellars, the Pavlovsky's shop, the haberdasher's, the jewelery shop "Paris Jeweler", a watch shop of Mark Miesirov. In 1904 the Taganrog District court registry rented accommodation in the building for circuit sessions. On the second and third floors there were 60 hotel rooms in the value of 1 ruble and more.
