Starwood Hotels & Resorts’ St Regis hotel brand has entered Russia with a 210-key property in Moscow on Nikolskaya Street, which connects Lubyanka Square and Red Square.
Situated within walking distance from the Kremlin, Bolshoi Theatre, the Duma and numerous other commercial and governmental buildings, the St Regis Nikolskaya – which is owned by Rutsog-Invest – was originally constructed in the 1870s as the residence of Count Orlov Davydov.
In addition to four dining venues, the property will house the Alexandria Beauty Lounge & Spa – a nine-treatment room facility with a sauna, hammam and fitness centre. The 1,600sq m (17,222sq ft) spa will also house an indoor pool with a sky-themed ceiling fresco.
Also at this hotel, there will be four meeting rooms and on ballroom for events and celebrations.
The St Regis brand has tripled its global footprint in the past decade to 34 hotels, and is set to feature at two more locations by the end of 2015: St Regis Mumbai and St Regis Dubai.
