Before the transition to T-Bank, the buildings were owned by the structures of Sergei Novikov, who had previously developed a franchise chain of Spar supermarkets in the Volga region. Putting up the Tourist buildings for sale in 2024, the entrepreneur planned to help out ₽2,4 billion for them.

Hotel Tourist was built in 1955 and has seven buildings. In the post-Soviet period, the hotel often changed owners. Initially, it was managed by the Hotel Company, controlled by the mayor's office, which was transferred to VTB Group in 2014.

Earlier, VTB structures sold Tourist, along with several other hotels, to the structures of the Osnova group of Alexander Ruchyyov, and subsequently all seven buildings of Tourist were transferred to different companies associated with Novikov.

After the transition to Novikov, two buildings were reconstructed into apartments, one until recently had a hotel, and four housed offices. Eduard Chekhov, deputy director of the Ricci office real estate department, believes that the entrepreneur failed to implement a development project on the site of Tourist, which led to the sale of the asset.^[1]
