From January 2019, Radisson Collection will have an additional address in its portfolio. The property, located near the banks of the Moskva River, the building is one of the capital's "Seven Sisters", a family of neoclassical skyscrapers. The hotel will offer its guests 501 rooms, an Olympic swimming pool and 10 boats for guests to enjoy river cruises in the city.

Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “This property is the perfect illustration of what Radisson Collection stands for; and it’s only natural that it’s the first ever Radisson Collection property in Moscow. Combining timeless architecture with truly exceptional experiences, the hotel is a destination in its own right and the ideal base from which to explore one of the most exciting and vibrant cities in the world. Another landmark joins our select collection of prestige hotels.’’
