Spektrcity Hamovniki is a modern business hotel positioned right next to Sportivnaya Metro Station in Moscow's prestigious Khamovniki district. Following a complete renovation and management change in late 2023, it offers exceptionally clean, well-equipped rooms with Natura Siberica toiletries and a highly praised buffet breakfast. Its unparalleled proximity to the Luzhniki Olympic Complex makes it a top choice for concert and sports enthusiasts.

PINSKIY Boutique Hotel (formerly Dovlatov) is a premium 5-star property in the heart of Esto-Sadok, famous for its heated rooftop infinity pool overlooking the mountains and casino. After a major rebranding, the hotel has dramatically improved its service quality and introduced a superb breakfast experience with sparkling wine. However, guests should carefully choose room categories, as entry-level standards are cramped and look out onto walls.
