Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya

 Opened in 2008, the Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya has won plaudits for its luxurious accommodation, excellent service, and imaginative exploitation of a historic building, despite some reservations about the less than prestigious location.

 Hilton's first hotel venture in Russia involved the complete renovation of the Leningradskaya Hotel, the smallest of the "Seven Sisters", Stalin's magnificent neo-gothic skyscrapers, turning a notoriously seedy Soviet hotel into a genuinely 5-star property with all modern amenities that has managed to preserve the elegance of the building's historic public spaces. The hotel offers 273 spacious and extremely well appointed guest rooms, many of them with spectacular views over Moscow's historic center. Also available are six well equipped and stylish meeting spaces, plus the hotel's stunning Grand Ballroom, and a 24-hour fitness center with large swimming pool. In-house dining is at the formal Janus Restaurant, offering traditional Russian haute cuisine.

The Hilton Moscow Leningradksaya is located on Komsomolskaya Ploshchad, the site of Leningradsky, Kazansky, and Yarolavsky Railway Stations. This puts the Hilton a little further from the Kremlin and Red Square than the rest of Moscow's 5-star hotels, and the area around the hotel is not the most prepossessing. Public transport links,

Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya: Location & Directions

Nearest metro: Komsomolskaya

The Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hotel is housed in the smallest of the "Seven Sisters", the post-war Stalinist skyscrapers that dominate the Moscow skyline and include Moscow State University and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The building of the Hilton Leningradskaya is on Komsomolskaya Ploshchad, just north-east of the Garden Ring and around 3km from the Kremlin and Red Square.

Komsomolskaya Ploshchad is home to three of Moscow's mainline railway stations: Leningradskiy, from which trains run to St. Petersburg and northern Russia; Yaroslavskiy, the terminal for most of the Trans-Siberian services; and Kazanskiy, from where trains depart for Kazan, Central Asia, and much of southern Russia. Komsomolskaya Metro Station, which is on the brown circle line and the red line, is between Leningradskiy and Yaroslavskiy Stations, less than five minutes' walk from the Hilton.

Sheremetyevo International Airport is roughly 25km from the Hilton Leningradsky, and the drive to/from the hotel will take 40-90 minutes depending on traffic. Domodedovo Airport is further away – roughly 43km – and the drive is likely to take at least 90 minutes.

Local sightseeing

The building that houses the Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya is itself a famous landmark – one of the seven neo-gothic skyscrapers that formed the most prominent part of Stalin's post-war regeneration plans for Moscow. The smallest of the seven buildings, the Leningradskaya Hotel was completed in 1954, and only a year later was the subject of harsh criticism from Nikita Khruschev as a prime example of waste and profligacy in Stalinist building projects. Nonetheless, it is an impressive building, with a 136m central tower that dominated Komsomolskaya Ploshchad.


Equally impressive are the three railway stations on the square, each of which is an architectural masterpiece in a distinct style. The oldest, Leningradsky Station, was designed by the Muscovite master of Italinate neoclassicism Konstantin Thon and completed in 1851. Although the interior is almost entirely 20th century, Thon's original exteriors survive, although their refined elegance is overshadowed by the monumentalism of the surrounding buildings. Neighboring Yaroslavsky Station was built 1902-1904 by Fyodor Schechtel in the Russian Revival style, with numerous details inspired by medieval fortifications, traditional "Terem" roofs and an attractive mosaic frieze depicting stylized plants.


Across the square, Kazansky Station, the largest of the three, is a later example of Russian Revivalism that eschews the fantastical, fairytale aesthetic of Yaroslavsky Station for a more exact imitation of the forms of historic buildings. Designed by Aleksei Shchusev, it was partially inspired by the Soyembika Tower in the Kazan Kremlin, with an almost identical tiered central tower. The building was not completed until 1940.
