In addition to the guestrooms, the Renaissance also features 40 extended-stay suites. Guestrooms feature rich, dark wood and warm color accents as well as the latest in technology with flat screen televisions and high-speed internet access. The extended-stay suites offer additional living space, kitchenette, refrigerators, dishwasher and cook top.

The hotel’s bi-level executive lounge offers sweeping panoramic views of Moscow and a terrace where travelers can enjoy a cocktail on a warm summer day.

Authentic culinary delights are offered at the hotel’s all-day restaurant Mozaic which features a mix of international and Russian specialties including borsch and Sibirskaya Korona Classic beer. The Allegro Lobby Bar & Lounge features a wide selection of creative cocktails, loose teas and dining options. The hotel’s fine-dining restaurant Premier offers innovative fusion cuisine.

The meeting and event facilities of the Renaissance Moscow Monarch Centre are some of the largest in Moscow today. The Andreevsky ballroom features sparkling contemporary crystal chandeliers, making it a perfect location for any event. Twelve conference rooms with large pre-function spaces total 2500 square meters.
