Contemporary Heritage in the Heart of MoscowLocated on Nikolskaya Street, which connects Lubyanka Square and Red Square, the hotel occupies one of the most prestigious buildings in the capital. Situated close to the Duma (Russia’s parliament) and major business hubs as well as commercial and governmental buildings, The St. Regis Moscow Nikolskaya is ideal for business travelers. The hotel is also within walking distance from historic attractions and sites, including the Kremlin and Bolshoi Theatre as well as GUM and TSUM luxury department stores.
Originally constructed in the 1870s as the residence of Count Orlov-Davydov, The St. Regis Moscow Nikolskaya offers 210 spacious guest rooms and suites with belle époque interiors, an elegant tribute to the building’s heritage. The luxurious rooms offer postcard-perfect views of the city’s historical downtown and the bustling streets around the hotel.
Exquisite Culinary ExperiencesThe St. Regis Moscow Nikolskaya offers five culinary experiences, including Orlov Lobby Lounge, which serves signature St. Regis afternoon tea. Keeping in tradition with the St. Regis brand’s iconic King Cole bar in New York, the lobby lounge serves its own signature Bloody Mary cocktail. Called the Red Maria, the cocktail is prepared with marinated horseradish and fresh beetroot juice, a nod to the traditional borsch. Also on property, Osteria A Tavola serves Italian cuisine and Venetian-style cicchetti. Robusto, the Cognac Room at St. Regis, offers a discreet ambiance suited for enjoying cognacs and cigars amongst business partners and friends.
The hotel will unveil two new dining experiences helmed by acclaimed Michelin-starred chef Kamel Benmamar in June.

Inspired by American diners, The Farsh, a specialty burger eatery, is set to serve the city’s best burgers in a more casual setting.
