Fodor's Review:

Originally built between 1899 and 1903, this first-class hotel has been the stage for some fabled events: Lenin spoke frequently in the assembly hall of the building, and David Lean filmed part of Doctor Zhivago in the restaurant. The hotel is one of Moscow's most elegant, with outstanding service and amenities. The lobby and restaurants transport you back a century, and the guest rooms have hardwood floors, Oriental rugs, and modern furnishings. Antiques grace all the suites, and the two presidential suites come with private saunas. The location, opposite the Bolshoi Theater and a five-minute walk from the Kremlin, is top-notch.

Reviewed by James_UK from UK on 4/7/07
It is huge and knackered - it reminded me of an institutional hospital, only the lunatics have been replaced by heavy expense businessmen who like a good choice of hookers in the lobby. BUT this is THE location to be in if you are visiting on holiday like we were. One big plus is the limo service to run you around town. The bill though was a shocker. I think next time we'll stay at the National.
