Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group
is to manage a luxurious new hotel in the heart of Moscow.
Mandarin Oriental, Moscow,
scheduled to open in 2011, will be located on Tverskaya Street, just a five minute walk from the famous Red Square, with its
architectural attractions including the Kremlin and St Basil’s Cathedral. The property is well positioned within the city’s prime financial and
commercial district, and provides easy access to Moscow’s numerous cultural attractions and its most prestigious shopping area, home to many
exclusive retail brands.
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 Mandarin Oriental.
The hotel’s 237
guestrooms, including 66 suites, will be amongst the largest in the city, featuring a classic but contemporary interior
style with Mandarin Oriental’s renowned customer-centric technology providing guests with highly sophisticated in-room entertainment, in an elegant environment.
In keeping with Mandarin Oriental’s award winning spa concepts, Mandarin Oriental, Moscow will
incorporate a holistic range of wellness and beauty treatments in a tranquil, meditative setting. The spacious spa will include private treatment
rooms as well as significant water and heat therapies. An indoor swimming pool and a comprehensive fitness centre will further add to the
hotel’s leisure facilities.
The hotel will also feature a variety of restaurants and bars, offering an eclectic choice of contemporary cuisine and cocktails in chic
surroundings. Two elegant ballrooms, 6,000 sq metres of luxury retail and significant underground valet parking will
also be added to the property.
The
hotel will be owned and developed by Unicor Management Company, a real estate developer with a significant residential and
commercial portfolio and interests in a variety of industries, including banking, retail and agriculture.
“We are delighted to be bringing Mandarin Oriental’s renowned hospitality to Russia’s capital city. Moscow is fast becoming one of the world’s
most important business and leisure destinations, and we are excited at the prospect of creating a legendary Mandarin Oriental hotel in this
pre-eminent location. It represents a significant step in our strategy to establish our brand firmly in the world’s most important destinations,” said
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s Chief Executive, Edouard Ettedgui.
