The hotel offers well-appointed guest rooms decorated in a historical style, and luxury suites decorated with antiques. There are a number of meeting rooms for business and social events. There is a gourmet restaurant overlooking Red Square, and a sophisticated bar lounge in the hotel's winter garden.
