Luxury Hotel

Although it’s walking distance to landmarks like Red Square and St. Basil’s Cathedral, Four Seasons Moscow attracts a gilded set of Russian and international clientele that would likely never dream of traversing the city by foot. It occupies the former Hotel Moskva along Manezh Square, an iconic property built under Stalin by architect Alexei Shchusev with a design that married two classical exterior styles into one address frequented by Gagarin and 1950s Russian elite. Demolished and then essentially rebuilt from scratch, Four Seasons Moscow sits under a glass-topped atrium with a contemporary spin on the building’s historic interiors that are now home to formal Italian eatery Quadrum as well as Moskovsky Bar that’s located on street level. A 7th floor rooftop lounge hopes to compete with the Ritz Carlton’s Sky Lounge with seasonal pop-up lounge and summertime party scene. Forthcoming Amnis Spa is located on the upper floors of the hotel with a massive complex of indoor pool, treatment rooms, fitness center and salon located under a rectangular glass roof. In terms of guest perks, look for a fleet of 7-series BMWs to whisk you away to the Garage Contemporary, Bolshoi or any address in central Moscow.

Although it’s walking distance to landmarks like Red Square and St. Basil’s Cathedral, Four Seasons Moscow attracts a gilded set of Russian and international clientele that would likely never Far smaller than the property’s Hotel Moscow predecessor that was well over 1,000-rooms in size, Four Seasons is home to just 180 rooms and suites that include some of the best views in town. Interiors have been upgraded to include floor to ceiling windows in all room categories as well as step-out balconies in premium rooms. In terms of style, expect more contemporary luxury with herringbone wood floors tossed with woven rubs, dark wood accents, ergonomic furnishings and large working desks. The most in-demand rooms are Grand Premier Suites that offer two unique views due to their corner positions within the building. Details like mirrored walls and original artwork lend a bespoke feel in top room categories. As for bathrooms, expect well-sized marble trimmed space with separate bath and shower accented in Roberto Cavalli toiletries.
