A glimpse inside the Four Seasons Hotel, Moscow, a cultural retreat

The legendary Hotel Moskva, originally opened in 1935 still remains one of the most recognizable landmark façade in the world. As an unofficial home base for the Soviet Union’s political, social elite and celebrity guests, Hotel Moskva saw many chapters in the Russian saga until it was demolished in 2004 for a modern reproduction. Now totally rebuilt with all new construction, the Four Seasons Moscow replicates the original exterior architecture while retaining many of the iconic hotel’s interior details. The new and old have been tastefully merged with a layout and building system to match present day’s five-star luxury hotel classifications. Four Seasons Hotel, Moscow is also one of the most anticipated hotel opening this year.

Although totally rebuilt to today’s highest standards of construction and engineering, echoes of the past are seen inside as well, such as column capitals and scalloped rosette, ballroom’s chandelier, and handcrafted mosaic tiles in the glass-enclosed pool area.
