    Location 8.35 /10

    In the centre of Moscow, at short distance from The Red Square and the Kremlin, this establishment is at 15/a Mokhovaya, at the crossing of the famous Tverskaya avenue, just next to Okhotny Ryad metro station. Sheremetyevo 2 international airport is located about 22 mi away (a journey of approximately one hour). Domodedovo international airport is 30 mi to the south east, so expect an hour and a half to get there by car

    Accommodation 9.20 /10

    No 2 rooms are alike, and the only shared features are a majestic interior, elegance, and luxury: a chandelier hangs from the sculpted ceiling, carpets cover a magnificent parquet floor, and wallpaper, paintings, and mirrors adorn the walls, everything is here to make you feel like a king or a princess, or more accurately, like a tsar! The rooms are furnished with authentic and exclusive items, reminiscent of the original 19th century interior of the hotel. The guest rooms are not very spacious (20m²), but they include individual air conditioning, a satellite television with a plasma screen (43 channels), a DVD player, a mini bar fridge (with a courtesy bottle of water), a phone, Wifi and ADSL Internet access, an electronic safe (free of charge), a desk, and a king size bed. They afford a splendid view and some even look straight out onto the Kremlin! As for the bathroom, it includes a bathtub fitted with a flexible shower, a toilet, a bidet, a hair dryer, dressing gowns and slippers, hospitality products, a phone, tissues, a set of scales, and a magnifying mirror.
    The hotel's 56 historical suites have been decorated with authentic Russian antiques: vases, icons, lamps, mirrors, statues, and paintings.

    Overview 8.95 /10

    The hotel was designed by the famous Russian architect, Alexander Ivanov, and was built in 1903. Don't worry though, it has undergone regular renovations since then, and the rooms were most recently refurbished in 2008. The hotel occupies 2 buildings, with 6 and 7 storeys respectively, which have been rated as historical monuments for very apparent reasons! This monument, designed in the classical architectural style, houses 206 rooms, of which 56 are historical suites. Branded a Leading Hotel of the World and part of the Starwood Luxury Collection hotel group, it has been recognised for its uniqueness in terms of Russian heritage, its classical architecture, and its Art Nouveau design. In fact, it actually belongs to the Russian government. The hotel's swimming pool is not very big (6x4m) but at least there is one! Small and rectangular, it is heated at 28°C and includes a 38°C jacuzzi. You can also enjoy a peaceful session in the sauna, the Turkish baths, or under one of the 2 relaxing showers. Deckchairs with mattresses are also available, and you can let off some steam in the gym, which is open from 7:00 am till 11:30 pm.

    Food and drink 9.20 /10

    Breakfast is served from 7:30am till 10:30am (11:00am on weekends) on the first floor in a special breakfast room with a bay window which affords a view of the Kremlin: very stylish! The setting is even comparable to Versailles, with its chandeliers, paintings, ceiling frescoes, etc. Lunch and dinner are served from noon till 11:00pm at the Moskovski restaurant, which is just as elegant as the breakfast room and also has a view of the Kremlin! There is a special room for non-smokers that can accommodate up to 15 guests, whereas the smokers' room can seat 25... You will be able to enjoy excellent Russian cuisine here (a la carte). As for drinks, the Alexandrovsky bar in the entrance hall is open around the clock and is also divided into a smokers' and a non smokers' section (with four big television screens).

    To know
