In 1989, the dynamic Kempinski Hotel Group began a visionary USD 86 million reconstruction to "create a heaven in the Russian capital in which a renaissance of culture and business could flourish". For those involved in the evolution of this grand scheme, it was and act of faith, a return to civility, luxury, and comfort, in a city whose future was beginning to shine with the promise of success.

Built entirely of quality materials from the West, the hotel's impressive exterior and spacious interior required vast quantities of lumber, glass, and brick - a triumph of architectural engineering and design. The renovation took a total of 600 truckloads of raw materials - the very best that could be found.

Those rigorous high standards of planning and constant attention to detail have resulted in a hotel that is as vital as the Moscow of the present, as authentic and historic as the Tsarist Moscow of the past, and as international as the Moscow of the future. Since it re-opened in 1991, the Hotel Baltschug Kempinski Moscow has won a listing in the exclusive international association The Leading Hotels of the World - the first hotel in the Russia's capital that has been extended this recognition.

Both business and leisure travellers can now enjoy this unique hotel in the best location Moscow has to offer. The opulent marbled Lobby is both the entree and focus of life in the hotel. Guests gather here to meet friends and business associates, enjoy high-afternoon tea. The true measure of any hotel is the comfort of its lodgings, and the Hotel Baltschug Kempinski Moscow offers luxury on a grand scale. Each of its 232 guest rooms, including 30 suites and studios, is beautifully appointed with individual air-conditioning and heating, direct dial mobile phones with hotel-wide range including voice mail, satellite TV which is Internet and E-mail accessible, minibar, 24-hour room service and an in-room personal safe.
