The St. Regis opened in the heart of Moscow in 2014 occupying one of the most prestigious buildings in the capital, dating back to the 14th century. The hotel sits on Nikolskaya Street, which connects Lubyanka Square and Red Square. From the Bolshoi, to Tsum department store, to the Kremlin, you are minutes from everything.

The hotel features 210 guest rooms, each equipped with signature St. Regis Butler Service, allowing for the hotel to provide customized service to each of its guests. The Royal Suite and Presidential Suite are the top two room categories.

The St. Regis has a spacious, buzzing library bar, which is the centerpiece of the hotel called Orlov Lobby Bar & Lounge. Here, each Sunday during afternoon tea, you can enjoy the special performance of a ballerina from the Bolshoi Theatre. In general, the hotel’s hospitality concept was inspired by the rituals and aristocratic values of the Astors, the brand founder’s family. Caroline Astor started the tradition of afternoon tea at the hotel in the beginning of 20th century to guarantee that the long evening between lunch and dinner was filled with entertainment. In addition to Orlov, the hotel has an Italian restaurant, Osteria a Tavola, as well as a Cognac Room, Robusto.

The hotel’s Alexandria Beauty Lounge & Spa is 17,000 square feet and comes equipped with nine treatment rooms, an indoor pool, sauna, hammam and fitness center. Don't miss the hotel’s private rooftop bar—an ideal place for intimate gatherings—with panoramic views of the Kremlin.

Those looking for a convenient central location, near the city's top sights. Be aware that the hotel, though modern, has no prominent sense of place and design elements in the rooms can feel kitschy.
