St. Regis Opens First Luxury Hotel in Russia — Moscow Debut

St. Regis Moscow Nikolskaya has opened its doors in the heart of the Russian capital, marking the arrival of Starwood’s ultra-luxury brand in Moscow. The launch represents significant growth for St. Regis, which has expanded its global portfolio to 34 hotels over the past decade.

“Situated at one of the city’s most prestigious addresses, The St. Regis Moscow Nikolskaya introduces a refined level of bespoke hospitality for both local guests and international visitors through the brand’s signature St. Regis Butler Service,” said Jenni Benzaquen, vice president, luxury brands, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. “Embodying the character of Moscow’s historic center and the spirit of a contemporary grand tour, this hotel is an appropriate and elegant debut for St. Regis in this major gateway city.”

Set on Nikolskaya Street, which links Lubyanka Square with Red Square, the hotel occupies a prime location for business and leisure travelers. It sits close to the Duma (Russia’s parliament) and key commercial districts, offering convenient access to the city’s main political and business centers. The building dates back to the 1870s and was originally the residence of Count Orlov-Davydov, blending heritage architecture with modern luxury.

The St. Regis Moscow Nikolskaya features 210 guestrooms and suites, many of which provide striking views over the historic downtown and the lively streets surrounding the hotel. Thoughtful room design and contemporary amenities cater to discerning guests seeking comfort, service and a sense of place in central Moscow.

Dining options include five distinct venues, each designed to offer a unique culinary experience. Wellness and leisure facilities are highlighted by the Alexandria Beauty Lounge & Spa, which houses nine treatment rooms and an indoor pool beneath a sky-themed ceiling fresco. Guests can also enjoy a private rooftop bar that offers panoramic views of the Kremlin, an appealing spot for evening cocktails and private gatherings.

For events and meetings, the hotel provides generous and flexible space, including a ballroom and four meeting rooms suited to corporate functions, social events and private celebrations. The combination of historic setting, luxury amenities and attentive service positions The St. Regis Moscow Nikolskaya as a landmark hotel for visitors seeking an elevated stay in central Moscow.
