Chekhoff Hotel Moscow, Curio Collection by Hilton
In 2004, Golden Apple became one of the first trendy boutique hotels to open in Moscow. It is now the Chekhoff Hotel Moscow,
Curio Collection by Hilton. Inside an eight-story renovated building from the 19th century, it's about a 10-minute walk from Red Square and other central sites. Its interior, by the Canadian architect Raphael Shafir, is modern and quirky, with dark shiny surfaces in the lobby, and even a bronze apple seat to sit on. Rooms are spacious, with comfortable beds; colorful furnishings made of wood, marble and stone; and such whimsical details as curtains that zip up. The staff is very attentive, and they all speak at least some English. However, the usual breakfast, which is a typical hotel buffet, is less pleasing: opt for the cooked-to-order option for better coffee and a fresher meal. And the Wi-Fi is slow here, but at least it's free.
