Fodor's Expert Review Sovietsky Historical

Plunge into Soviet-era grandeur at what even Russian guests consider to be a "time machine," with marble columns, comfortable sofas, Socialist realist art, grand chandeliers, and a "shabby chic" ethos in the high-ceilinged guest rooms. Public areas are extremely well maintained, while guest quarters are spotless but charmingly outdated. Service is generally gracious, but stumbles at times.
