Traditional Russian Welcome Ceremony.
The guests are greeted with Russian pastries and a shot of vodka during check in at the hotel. Russian folklore dancing and singing is a nice option to be included.

In old days, as a sign of hospitality, when the Emperor visited his towns, merchants and gentry would present a loaf of bread placed on a round dish covered with an embroidered towel. A cellar of salt was placed on top of the bread or set in a hole cut into the top of the bread. The ceremony also was used prior to the marriage of a landowner when he traveled to each village on his estate, introducing his new bride to the peasants. The ceremony symbolized that the couple would never be without the necessities of life.
