The Kempinski has excellent views of the Kremlin and the back of Saint Basil's Cathedral. It is certainly a very classy hotel and has a certain air of perfection to it - housekeeping-wise. The facility is spotless and seems recently renovated. Security is very good. You need a key card to use their classy elevators. Rooms have carpeted floors and are very comfortable. The 8th floor actually has a library for guests. They have a fitness center that is quite small, and a nice pool and jacuzzi area. There are separate saunas for men and women. You may use a tanning bed there if you want, or get a massage. .
While the hotel does offer some excellent views of the back of the Kremlin, I feel its location is a bit isolated - being on the other side of the river. I enjoyed the Kempinski very much, but I think there are better values out there. The Hyatt is one of those better values, in my opinion... although the Kempinski has the better view.
