National Hotel

Surrounded by Moscow’s top attractions, this magnificent hotel is perfect for those wanting to stay in the very heart of the city. This is another of Moscow's historic grand dame of hotels with a fabulous location right over the road from Red Square

It may not be of the same standard as the other international five-star hotels, but history seeps through the elegant white marble and gold leaf of the Hotel National - a Luxury Collection Hotel.

Lenin stayed here in room 107 during the Russian Revolution and you can check out the famous faces of other guests along its corridors. Stylishly appointed rooms come with high ceilings and classical-style decor are furnished with antique pieces, and live piano music fills the Russian-themed Dr Zhivago Restaurant every evening. There is also a swimming pool, sauna and gym.
