Hotel Ukraina

One of Moscow's 'High Buildings', or so-called Seven Sisters, the Hotel Ukraina is part of the dubious architectural legacy that Stalin gifted the city during his reign. A big bruiser of a building the Ukraina was intended to show the world what the Soviet regime was capable of, and it certainly is an impressive - albeit somewhat grotesque - sight. Apart from the chance to survey Communist architecture up close, one of the best reasons for staying at the Ukraina are the amazing views over the Moskva river (the hotel is perched on the West bank) and the panorama of the city from the observation points atop of the 34th floor. Prospective guests should note that the Ukraina is undergoing rennovations as of 2007, so inquire how this will affect your stay.

"This is an excellent hotel, one of the best in which I have taken a room in some time. The rooms are beautiful, the bathrooms luxurious, and the food at the breakfast buffet excellent and abundant. I will return the next time I am in Moscow, and would recommend it to anyone visiting the city."

"Hotel Ukraine Is a wonderful hotel, my wife and I have stayed there a couple times and just wonderful place within walking distance from the Arbot and Casinos and if your lucky you can have a view of the Russian White house across the river.No matter what side you stay on go to the top and see the magnificant view and don't forget to have coffee while there. Then in the morning go down stairs for breakfast buffet wow I've never seen such food. You will definately enjoy this hotel"
