With Russian Art Nouveau design and original period architecture, Metropol Hotel Moscow radiates old-world elegance. Built in 1905, Metropol's antique charm beckons guests to take a step back in time. The hotel prides itself on hundreds of antiques and works of art of the 18th and 19th centuries, used as decorative elements throughout the property.  All of these objects are the property of the State Russian Museum and are graciously loaned to the hotel. Each item is carefully tagged to prevent theft. Acclaimed architects and designers – like the great Russian artist, Viktor Vasnetsov - collaborated to design the building in an exquisite Art Nouveau style. Located in the heart of Russia’s majestic capital, the luxurious five-star hotel is a short walk from the Red Square, the Kremlin, the Bolshoi Theater, and some of its rooms boast picture-perfect views overlooking these famous landmarks. With more than 350 accommodation options in a variety of categories, guests are spoiled for choice when it comes to selecting their perfect "home away from home." "Classic" rooms feature authentic early 20th century interiors, delighting with vintage chandeliers, original paintings by world-class Russian artists and vintage furniture from the hotel's collection. The Metropol Hotel also offers 70 renovated rooms and suites, which combine antique luxury with the most modern technological innovations. These are at least twice the size of the historical rooms, ranging from 355 sq. ft. to the massive 1453- sq. ft. Ambassador Suite, the most spacious accommodation at the hotel. This old-world elegance of Russia's Silver Age glides through the entire property. Metropol Hall restaurant serves an exquisite buffet breakfast to the accompaniment of a harp, while the Chaliapin Bar is the perfect place to grab an aperitif before a night out. It also hosts a traditional Russian tea ceremony, daily at 10 a.m. Fairy-tale weddings
