The Akvarel Hotel is a five-storey, four-star boutique hotel in Moscow. There are only 23 rooms, decorated in a modern ‘business style’ that gives the place a fresh and clean feel. All are equipped with air-conditioning, satellite TV, a mini-bar and internet connection. The attic rooms are cosier but definitely smaller.

This is certainly not the state-of-the-art or luxury option, but the staff are welcoming and the hotel is perfectly situated for the theatre, shopping and all the sights. Tucked away, off a quiet pedestrianized street, Akvarel sits
directly behind Jimmy Choo’s shop and next to the Agent Provocateur
store – a dangerous combination for some!
