Mandarin Oriental's Moscow Location Will Open in 2011

Where: Tverskaya Street, Moscow, Russian Federation

The luxe hotel scene of Moscow just got luxier. The Mandarin Oriental Hotels group have announced their Moscow property, set for Tverskaya Street which is close to the Red Square. From the official press release:

The hotel will be housed in the redevelopment of a historic building that was originally constructed in the early 19th Century as a private manor house.

Over the course of the century, the original building was extended to house additional apartments and galleries, and in 1911 it was converted to a luxury hotel.

During the intervening period, the premises has lost much of its decorative beauty and the restoration of the period architecture will be an integral part of the building's transformation into a hotel featuring Mandarin Oriental's "21st century luxury with oriental charm".

The hotel promises 237 guest rooms and 66 suites, which will be some of the largest hotel rooms in the city. A spa, indoor swimming pool, several restaurants and bars, along with two ballrooms will round out the hotel services.

And of course, you know how Russians love their luxury retail. The Mandarin Orienal Moscow will have 6,000-sq-ft of retail space inside as well. The opening is set for 2011. Hopefully, we'll have earned enough money by then to afford one night there.
