The hotel stands at Neglinnaya Street 4, on the site of the Armenia Hotel and an Armenian restaurant called Ararat, which stood there until 1988. The new hotel was built in 2002, according to the same article, by Murad Sargsyan, a Russian-Armenian businessman, and a guide gives 2001 as the opening year.
It opened as the Ararat Park Hyatt Moscow, with a neoclassical facade and a modern interior. It was completely refurbished in 2012 and 2013 under the hotel designer Tony Chi, according to a hotel guide.
Hyatt ended its relationship with the hotel on 12 May 2022, following sanctions, and the hotel now uses the name Ararat Park Hotel Moscow in its titles, though some of its page text still uses the Hyatt name.

Book through the hotel’s own site, araratparkhotel.ru, where the current rates, room types and rules are shown. The rooms page gives check-in at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00.

- Foreign guests: hotels in Russia usually handle the registration of foreign guests, but rules change and depend on nationality, so ask the hotel and read the Moscow Vibes registration guide; as of October 2026 this was not verified with the hotel.
- Payment: foreign Visa and Mastercard cards are reported not to work in Russia, and the sanctions rules of your own country may restrict some Russian payment services and bookings, so check this yourself and ask the hotel how it takes payment.

About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy
This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.
International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently. We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship. Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible. Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.Paying for your trip: please read
