Radisson Collection Hotel, Moscow
More photosThe Radisson Collection Hotel, Moscow, is a true icon of the city, famously known as the historic Hotel Ukraina. Completed in 1957, it is one of the legendary “Seven Sisters”—the towering Stalinist skyscrapers that define the Moscow skyline. Standing 206 meters tall on the banks of the Moskva River, it was once the largest hotel in the world.
The hotel beautifully balances its monumental history with modern luxury. After a thorough three-year renovation that concluded in 2010, the property now blends imperial grandeur with contemporary five-star comfort. A fascinating unique feature is its massive, illuminated 1:75 scale diorama of 1970s Moscow, which is housed within the hotel lobby and offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the city’s past.
Guests have access to an impressive array of amenities, including a 50-meter indoor pool and a fleet of luxury ice-class yachts. These “Flotilla” yachts provide year-round river cruises, allowing visitors to dine while gliding past the city’s most famous landmarks, such as the Kremlin and St. Basil’s Cathedral.
Its location is perfect for sightseeing, with the historic Arbat district and the stunning Novodevichy Monastery just a short distance away. Whether you are admiring the collection of over 1,200 pieces of Soviet-era art displayed throughout the halls or taking in the panoramic views from the 31st-floor bar, the hotel serves as a grand, historic base for exploring the heart of Russia’s capital.

“This glamorous hotel, the site of the former Ukraina, is inside one of the seven Stalin-era art deco high-rises, called the Seven Sisters, that make up Moscow’s romantic skyline; it’s located at the start of Kutuzovsky Prospect, the road that President Putin and his cortege of black Mercedes drive down on the way to the Kremlin.”

Other Moscow hotels
The Carlton Hotel, Moscow
The Carlton, Moscow, occupies one of the city's most storied plots on Tverskaya Street. In the 19th century, this site housed the "France Hotel," later replaced in the 1960s by the concrete "Intourist Hotel," which locals famously nicknamed a "decayed tooth." Today’s grand building, designed by architect Andrey Meerson, was completed in 2007 to restore the historical aesthetic of the area with a facade inspired by Russian classicism.
New York Times + 1 more“At the upper extreme is the Ritz-Carlton. Just steps from the Kremlin, the former Intourist hotel has 334 luxurious rooms.”

Godzillas Hostel, Moscow
Godzilla's Hostel, located in a historic pre-revolutionary building on Bolshoy Karetnyy Lane, holds the title of Moscow’s first independent hostel. Since opening in 2005, it has become a staple for travelers, particularly those embarking on Trans-Siberian adventures. Its prime location in the Tverskoy district makes it a well-known hub for social interaction, often serving as a meeting point for tour groups.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“Tried and true, Godzillas is Moscow’s best-known hostel, with dozens of beds spread out over four floors. The rooms come in various sizes, but they are all spacious and light-filled and painted in different colours.”
Russo Balt Hotel, Moscow
The Russo-Balt Hotel in Moscow is a true hidden gem, housed within a beautifully restored aristocratic manor that dates back to 1879. Originally designed by architect P. Zhukov, the building has a rich cultural pedigree; it once served as the home for the Musaget symbolists publishing house and was frequented by renowned Russian literary figures like Alexander Blok and Andrei Bely.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“With 15 rooms in an exquisite art deco building, the Russo Balt is as intimate and elegant as it gets in Moscow. Standard rooms are on the small side, but the whole place is beautifully decorated with period furnishings and original artwork, with the utmost attention to detail.”
Hotel National, Moscow
Hotel National, located at the corner of Tverskaya and Mokhovaya streets, is a true Moscow icon. Built in 1903 by the acclaimed architect Alexander Ivanov, this historic five-star hotel remains a masterpiece of imperial architecture. It has witnessed over a century of Russian history, serving as a luxurious residence for foreign diplomats, business tycoons, and eventually, the home of the first Soviet government following the 1917 Revolution.
Fodors + 2 more“If you seek historical splendor, assiduous service, and plenty of plush comforts, this 1903 landmark, the city’s most elegant hotel, is for you. For some capitalistic indulgence, you can stay in a two-room suite where Lenin lived for a time in 1918.”
