"The stone-layer-cake building itself is reason enough to stay in the Leningradskaya, renovated in 2008 by Hilton from the cellars to the soaring spire." Full review

Be sure to check out the ballroom, its inlaid ceilings and gilded gates teetering between opulence and kitsch.

"This hotel lacks grandeur but offers everything else a hotel should: efficient service, clean rooms, and (relatively) reasonable prices." Full review

Ask for an upgraded room if they're available; the price isn't that much higher than that of an older room, but the beds are larger and firmer, the bathrooms roomier, and the windows better at keeping out street noise.

"Built in 1972 for guests of the Russian Academy of Sciences, this concrete monolith is reasonably cheap and central. Avoid the rooms that haven’t been renovated since 1972."
