5 STAR LUXURY HOTEL • 256 ROOMS & 76 SUITES The Ritz-Carlton, Moscow will open July 1, 2007, at Tverskaya 3, a historic hospitality address for centuries. The $350 million, 334-room hotel features an imperial Russian façade and chic, elegant interior with unique contemporary accents. This will be the first property in Russia for Ritz-Carlton and its seventh location in Europe. "Having such an impressive presence in Moscow is part of our ongoing strategy to develop world class hotels in cities where the economy is growing and the demand for luxury lodging is high," said Simon Cooper, president and chief operating officer of Ritz-Carlton. The place now occupied by The Ritz-Carlton, Moscow was an 18th century tavern for travelers seeking lodging. Decades later it became known as the hotel "Paris," a popular gathering spot for Russian writers and poets to share their creative thoughts. In 1970, the Hotel "Intourist" took its place as a lodging landmark before eventually being demolished to make way for the architectural firm of Mosproject and designer Peter Silling's vision for The Ritz-Carlton. Tverskaya Street has long been known as a progressive section of Moscow, with the first gas street lamps and first horse-drawn railway debuting there in 1860. Featuring the most spacious guestrooms in Moscow, The Ritz-Carlton fuses elements of classic design with surprisingly contemporary features. The O2 Lounge on the12th floor features a dramatic glass dome, a polished black tile floor, red velvet cocoon chairs and white leather furnishings, plus the sound of dance music spun by a disc jockey. In addition to spectacular views of Red Square, the O2 Lounge will showcase celebrity chef Seiji Kusano, known for his sushi creations, including a gourmet roll prepared with Beluga caviar and blue fin tuna, garnished with gold leaf. Jeroboam, overseen by Germany's three-star Michelin chef Heinz Winkler, is accented by a glass dome with Italian marble and Venetian influences. Paintings of Baden-Baden in Germany and Combray in Northern France were created by noted European artist Junior Toscanelli. Wine aficionados will enjoy Petrus, an intimate wine room available for small groups to select from more than 800 rare and vintage bottles collected from the finest vineyards in the world. Guests can enjoy the library-like atmosphere of The Lobby Lounge, where they can consult the "vodka sommelier," who can not only explain the differences and nuances of some 400 types of the Russian drinks, but can also suggest the best ways to combine drinking vodka while savoring another native specialty, caviar. Visitors selecting accommodations on The Ritz-Carlton Club, accessible only by elevator key, can enjoy spectacular views of Red Square from the lounge area. An outdoor terrace overlooks the iconic landmarks and a multi-lingual concierge is available to assist guests with any request during their stay. Meetings at the Ritz-Carlton, Moscow can be held in a variety of settings from the largest ballroom in the city, accommodating up to 700, to smaller venues including breakout rooms, pre-function space, and a small board room. The Ritz-Carlton, Moscow also features a 21,520-square-foot spa by ESPA, a heated indoor swimming pool, and complete work out area equipped with the latest machines for daily exercise.
