Golden Apple

Golden Apple Review

Catching up with the global obsession, this is Moscow's first and only boutique hotel. Cozy, stylish, quirky, and upmarket, Golden Apple embodies the definition of boutique. Shiny metallic panels clash with bright, oddly shaped armchairs in the lobby bar. The enormous golden apple next to the front desk turns out to be a comfortable sofa on closer inspection. Each of the hotel's seven floors is painted a different color. In a reference to the Chekhov play, some rooms have huge propeller-like iron seagulls hanging from the ceiling. Pro: fresh fruit and chocolate in guest rooms every day. Cons: some rooms are small; bathrooms get flooded after taking a shower; sauna fills fast, it's best to reserve a spot.
