Ritzy Ritz-Carlton Moscow Occasionally Has Slighter Cheaper Rooms

The decadent Ritz-Carlton Moscow is one of those hotels we'd go to if we found out we only had 24 hours to live. Way too expensive for the normal reality of life--average room rates are well over $1,000 and look, they have musicians playing in the lobby--but an experience we'd love to have.

This week Intelligent Travel got in depth at the Ritz-Carlton Moscow through an interview with its general manager, Oliver Eller. Apart from mentioning the vodka sommelier and the 400 (yes, four hundred) varieties of vodka available at the hotel, we also learned that the Jeroboam restaurant scored top place in Time Out Moscow's ranking of restaurants for 2007.

And Eller also gave a tip on special periods when rates will be cheaper this year, and they include May 1-10 and August 1-20. By checking directly through the Ritz-Carlton website, we found some rooms for as "little" as US$770 during those periods. That's a bargain, really, especially if you get a few shots of the 400 vodka varieties thrown in.
