Sanatorium 23

Editorial Review

Hip lounge in historic Stalinist palazzo with red and white leather beds separated by swaths of translucent curtains, reminiscent of naughty nurses' office complete with Swiss red crosses. Gay-friendly by punk neighborhood standards with live DJ sets, four nights a week devoted to electro, techno and dance classics. Rotating art exhibitions, free wireless and retro Soviet-style apartments for short-term stays, where groups of up to 6 can bunk cheaply. Like, um, funky communists. Named in ironic nod to chronic illness, Sanatorium23 aids weary club kids in their futile attempts to recover from weekend benders via vodka-infused convalescence.
