Visiting the Baltics and 2 big cities in Russia this summer with my parents
WorldEuropeRussiaMoscow

A five star hotel at a great location, if you get the corner room with view both north and west, then it would be even better (we did not!). From the west side of the hotel windows we could still see the colorful St Basil's cathedral and the walls of the Kremlin, with the domes of the churches in the cathedral square behind the walls, and the big golden domes of Cathedral of Christ the Savior. A short walk across the bridge and you are are Red Square. None of the metro stations are super close, but more like 10-15 minutes walk away.

The hotel is one of the most expensive in Moscow, partly due to its location and partly due to its amentities, foods and service.

The rooms we got were comfortable, not very large but we did not feel cramped. It was well appointed with flat LCD TV screen and a small table with 2 chairs, in additioin to the desk and chair.

The restaurant in the hotel served breakfast with many different freshly squeezed juice, many different breads, cold meats, cheeses, in addition to hot dishes you can order.

Hotel rooms have wi-fi internet access for 10 units (euros) per hour or 25 units per day. At the business center it's more expensive, but if you just want to check your email real quick, sometimes they don't bother to ask your room number, and you don't have to pay.

I would certainly stay at this hotel again if I can afford it!

yes I did visit St Basil's Cathedral, as most visitors to Moscow are likely to do! It's a very interesting building with lots of small rooms inside.

Hi Portia,
Did you actually visit the St Basil's Cathedral? I hope you did. My name is Tim. I'm a travel enthusiast and am keen to get to know fellow travel enthusiasts. I came across your write-up as I was looking for help to
complete a web page I am working on. I've a website called WorldGreatestSites to document all the outstanding places of the world. I have just created a page on St Basil's Cathedral. As you have visited it before, I would be most grateful if you could take a look at it. If you have any interesting stories or travel tips to share about it, I would love to add it on my web page with acknowledgment to you, of course. Also, if you'd like to correspond with me as friends, you can write to me at this email address (I am using a graphic be reduce spam). Thank you and have a great day!
