5 stars Hotels in Moscow

Great location, walking distance to so many places, clean and comfortable neighbourhood and felt safe at all times. Spacious room, very clean pool area. It was not possible at the airport to arrange for a taxi to meet the Aeroexpress train at Belorusskaya station unless you could speak Russian. A manned desk was no longer available, it had to be done via a special phone and the operator didn't speak English, but perhaps I was just unlucky with that. After a lot of haggling with various drivers at Belorusskaya, with prices starting at 2000 and 1500, paid 1000 rubles to get to the hotel when a more normal price would have been 600 -700, but you will be lucky if you find a driver willing to break rank and take you for that price. When leaving, a "hotel" taxi to the Sapsan train to St Petersburg was 1200 rubles, again way too much but they play on traveller's insecurities. As it turned out we were glad not to be in a metered taxi when we got stuck in stand-still traffic because roads were closed due to a bike race, and were very glad we had left the hotel with too much time to spare! Would have been a short trip on the metro but the stations are deep, escalators can be very long and steep (no lifts) and train doors can close very quickly, so this might not suit everyone.

Third time here. Very central, grand view of the Kremlin, right by The Bolshoi. Pre-Belle-Epoque with all the original decorations restored. A museum as much as a hotel. Service and smiles (not normally a big thing in Russia) first class, Super comfortable beds. Will be back.

If your looking for a great venue with great facilities and high standards then the savoy hits all the right spots. My opinion this should be a 5* hotel. Couldn't have asked for more. We had a great weekend!! And she said yes. Happiest man alive:)

We had a wonderful 11 day holiday with our two teenage sons here. Hotel staff were very helpful, many spoke good English. Concierge recommended restaurants, gave us detailed instructions on how to find everything, even an army surplus shop to buy a classic Russian coat for our son ! Many major sites are walking distance - Red Square is 15 minutes down the same road. Sunday Brunch was superb - 4 hours of glorious and varied food while you watch the wealthy locals and ex-pats come to meet and celebrate. Music from a live quartet completed a special occasion. We spent happy hours in the pool & gym, and then flopped in the beautiful lobby area. Moscow has become a very beautiful upmarket city centre with lots to see and do on holiday, a great hotel like this makes it a true escape - they treated us like royalty.

The staff was very polite and pleasing when something needed. The only thing is that restaurant in the 2nd floor is located just in the middle of the rooms entrance.

The hotel was better then we expected. Great value!
