* Super Fast Glass Elevators *

If you like intense amusement rides, then you will like the glass elevators at the Mezhdunrodnaya. The hotel has a substantial atrium with a large open space going skywards 9 floors. The glass elevator moved unexpectedly quickly and for someone who has anxiety about heights, they will be in for a shock. I think if you have kids, they will love zooming up and down on the glass elevators. It's like a free amusement ride. But also, the 9 floors of balcony walkways that surround the atrium area makes it easy for a youngster to spit at the people below and hide quickly!

At the bottom of the atrium are different lounge areas with nearby shopping mall-like fountains. And there are more fountains in the 2 story shopping mall area, which features numerous attractive restaurants. Some of the restaurants include a really nice looking "China Garden" restaurant; also a nice Japanese restaurant, one called "The British Pub," another one named "Russian Restaurant." There is a small supermarket in the mall, a casino, a shoe shine guy, clothes stores, and easy access to the World Trade Center. The indoor spaces are quite large and you can get a lot of exercise either by walking, or by using the fitness center.

The sales manager was off on the day of my visit, so I was politely refused the possibility to see the rooms, but I saw a few anyway thanks to the cleaning ladies. These are nice rooms.

I like it here. There are numerous quality restaurants; nice fountains to relax by; paintings were on display in the atrium. The location is good - near the "White House" (where Yeltsin ordered a tank to open fire in 1991). The unusual Hotel Ukraina is across the river. And nearby is a fun casino ship - the Alexander Blok, where you can have a meal in an attractive restaurant right along the river.

They advertise themselves as 5 stars? It is nice, but I think 4 stars is probably more appropriate. Prices start at $280, plus 18% tax and go up to $1500 for the Presidential Suite. Breakfast is an extra $13.50 (as of 3/26/2004).
