Last Brick Added to Moscow's Coming Ritz-Carlton

Right next to Red Square and the Kremlin, the biggest rooms in Moscow at 452 square feet and a three-Michelin-starred chef in the restaurant: what more could you want? Nothing, or at least that's what the Ritz-Carlton Moscow hotel developers want you to think.

The jury'll be out until at least March next year when the new Ritz-Carlton is due to open, but the main construction came to a successful finish this week. It's 11 storeys high, so as not to tower too much over Moscow's historical skyline; inside you can find 334 rooms, including 65 suites. Of course, there'll also be a Ritz-Carlton Club Level and this one has panoramic views over Red Square and the Kremlin. And the cherry on top?--polished dark cherry woods add the elegance factor to all the guest rooms.

With Moscow fast gaining a reputation as one of the world's most expensive cities, you can expect high prices--there's talk of rooms going for $830 a night. But judging from this photoshopped proposed room pic from the htoel website, you do get a view as good as Putin's.
