The Bar/Lounge at Ararat Park Hotel Moscow

"The tenth-floor Conservatory Lounge and Bar has a splendid view (although not quite as spectacular as the vista over the Kremlin from the Ritz-Carlton's rooftop bar), and the Ararat's spa includes a 45-foot-long swimming pool and a choice of Finnish sauna, Russian banya, and hammam"

"This five-star property isn’t just located in the heart of Moscow, it’s part of what makes the city so vibrant — the Conservatory Lounge and Bar is celebrated for its modern design and stunning views of the city’s domes, towers and turrets; Enoki, the in-house Japanese restaurant, is a favorite among Moscow’s elite; the Quantum Spa is one of the best in town; and there’s a complete restoration of the city’s landmark 1960s Cafe Ararat Armenian restaurant on the ground floor"

"Of the hotel’s many restaurants, don’t miss the Conservatory Lounge, which offers panoramic views of Teatralnaya ploshchad"

"Stop in for a drink at the upstairs Conservatory Lounge & Bar with its glass roof and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Kremlin, Bolshoi Theatre, and the Duma Parliament"

"With swanky rooms and suites designed by famous New York architect Tony Chi, this stylish downtown hotel has a renowned Armenian-themed restaurant and top-notch amenities that span a spa and health club, plus a great rooftop lounge and bar with stellar views over central Moscow"

"The on-site Quantum Health Club has state-of-the-art cardio and weight equipment and a chic rooftop pool surrounded by chaise lounges"

"Premium rooms receive complimentary breakfast in the restaurant (there is no private lounge or evening cocktail reception), DVD players, upgraded toiletries, coffeemakers, and irons and ironing boards"
