The success of the sitcom "Kitchen" on the STS channel prompted the creators to shoot a comedy similar to it, with old characters, but in a different setting. We can say that the directors decided to give a second life to expensive scenery. In this way,the idea to create the series "Hotel Eleon" appeared. We do not know where the address of the country's famous "kitchen" is located in Moscow, but there is no doubt that the pavilion for filming is the same. Identical decorations and atmosphere of the hotel are recreated perfectly by the props. New premises have also been added, such as a spa salon, a swimming pool, luxury rooms, a laundry room where cleaners sit, and a technical room. In the small restaurant of the hotel, characters loved by everyone in the Kitchen continue to work - Nastya and her husband the bartender Kostya, the wonderful cook Senya, and the manager Mikhail Dzhekovich wanders around Eleon day and night. Gradually, other familiar characters also return. Thus, the space of the "Kitchen" has expanded, and some pavilions have been redesigned.

Many fans of the series know where the photo-saver of the entrance to the hotel is located in Moscow. This place is quite recognizable, it is the very center of the capital - Bolshaya Yakimanka Street. There (in house 1) there is a business center "Alexander House". It was there that the facade of the hotel was built with a large inscription "Eleon". The road with cars passing back and forth, scenes on the roof - all in the same place, on Yakimanka. Fans of the series can walk here and feel like they are in their favorite series.
Street shooting, which shows the road, passing cars and neighboring buildings, was carried out in a large Moscow business center "Alexander House", located on Bolshaya Yakimanskaya. The facade of the hotel with the huge Eleon sign was also filmed here, as well as several scenes on the roof, in which you can easily recognize the surrounding buildings.
Luxury rooms were filmed in a hotel not far from Sheremetyevo Airport. If the fans recognized the street where the facade of the hotel is located, then they cannot recognize this place yet. And the directors and creators of the series do not disclose the secret. Maybe,they are afraid of the influx of people wishing to the hotel. Although this is strange, because, on the contrary, in this way it would be possible to make an excellent advertisement for this hotel. After all, who doesn't want to rent a suite from their favorite show?
