The Baltschug Kempinski Hotel lies on the banks of the Moscow River opposite the Cathedrals of Moscow's Kremlin and the historical and spiritual heart of the city. Originally founded by Prince Yury Dolgoruky as a wooden fort above the confluence of the Moscow and Neglinaya rivers in 1147 AD, the Kremlin was the focus around which the city of Moscow grew up. It received its first stone cathedral and fortifications in the 14th Century and the red, crenellated towers that we see today were not constructed until after 1472, when Italian architects were drafted in to supervise the building process. During the reigns of Ivan The Terrible, Boris Godunov and Mikhail Romanov the Kremlin continued as the seat of Russia's political power until 1682, when it was spurned by Tsar Peter The Great for his newly founded northern capital of St. Petersburg. Power eventually returned to the Kremlin in March 1918, when Lenin moved the seat of government back to the old capital. The Kremlin walls contain the Senate (the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation), the Great Kremlin Palaces, numerous cathedrals and the State Armory, containing a priceless and staggering collection of treasures from throughout the history of the Russian Tsars.
The hotel stands just a 5-minute walk from The Kremlin and the expansive Red Square, famed as the site of numerous Bolshevik demonstrations, Soviet parades and now occasional pop concerts. The Square is flanked by the red and back granite cubes of Lenin's Mausoleum, the brightly-colored onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, the celebrated GUM Department Store and the country's central Historical Museum.
Just a few steps from Red Square guests can enjoy the beautiful greenery and fountains of the Alexander Gardens and the plush underground shopping mall of Manezhnaya Square. A further 5-minute walk and visitors will reach the impressive stucco-covered facade of the world-renowned Bolshoy Theatre, the gem of Moscow's performing arts scene and home to the magnificent Bolshoy Ballet. Also in the vicinity and only a 15-minute walk from the hotel looms the monumental State Duma, home to the lower house of the Russian Parliament.
The Baltschug Kempinski Hotel's central location and luxurious interior make it the perfect choice for the more affluent businessmen or tourists. The hotel lies an hour's drive from Moscow's Sheremetevo International Airport. |
