The Restaurant at Ararat Park Hotel Moscow

"Built on top of the Ararat Armenian restaurant in 1993, this hotel quickly became a top luxury option"

"The hotel was built on the site of a legendary Soviet-era Armenian restaurant, and it recalls its predecessor not only in name but also with ethnic touches: artwork by contemporary Armenian artists, a depiction of an Armenian fertility goddess in the atrium, an Armenian chapel with a priest on call, and, of course, Café Ararat, which dishes up satisfying Armenian fare (bonus: Sunday brunch in winter includes unlimited Veuve Clicquot Champagne)"

"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"

"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"

"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"
