The Best City Views, from the Ritz Carlton, Moscow

City views from many of the guest rooms

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel is located at the edge of the famous Red Square – the site of countless coronations, conflicts and celebrations. Featuring breathtaking hotel rooms, Club Level rooms and elegant suites, each with luxurious amenities and impeccable service, The Ritz-Carlton is an unforgettable retreat in the very heart of Moscow. There are several hotels in the Russian Capital however that compete for the most luxurious in the city, yet no other hotel can boast, not only such a superb location, but such stunning views from the guest rooms.

View from the rooftop bar

While turn down service will ensure your rooms is comfortably prepared for the evening and the drapes are closed to keep out the glare of the city (and perhaps the cold of the Moscow winter), you might want to draw them back to enjoy the views in front of you. The panoramic windows overlook the city’s most iconic monuments: The Kremlin- with its many golden domed cathedrals and Red Square- with the famous St Basils cathedral, GUM department store and Museum of Natural History.  Bathed in light and night, and dusted in a little snow during the winter, there is perhaps no better view from a city centre hotel.

Standard rooms, with a city view, start from $500 per night, but even if your room doesn’t overlook Red Square (or even if you’re not staying in the hotel at all), you can still enjoy the view from the rooftop bar.
