Frommer's

"Everything about the hotel is big: The 12-foot-plus ceilings, the malachite columns, the Art Nouveau chandeliers, the regal corridors built on a space-is-no-object scale." Full review

Fodor's

"Plunge into Soviet-era grandeur at what even Russian guests consider to be a "time machine"." Full review

DK Eyewitness

"This characterful place was added to the exclusive 19th-century Yar restaurant by order of Stalin in 1951."

BlackBook

"Enormous chandeliers. Portrait of Lenin on the wall. Deep red carpet with gold accents cascading down a grand staircase."
