Highlights of Golden Apple Boutique Hotel

A nineteenth-century mansion

The hotel occupies a neoclassical building of the late nineteenth century on Malaya Dmitrovka Street, according to a hotel guide, whose facade looks like a revamped manor house, according to a travel magazine. Behind it, the interior is modern. Look at the facade from the street.

Tip: Look at the facade from the opposite side of the street.

The golden apple in the lobby

Under the Golden Apple name, the lobby had a giant golden apple sculpture in a glasshouse, which gave the hotel its name, according to guides. Whether it survives the rebranding as Chekhoff was not found. Ask at the reception.

Tip: Ask whether the golden apple is still in the lobby.

The first Curio Collection hotel in Russia

A booking page describes Chekhoff Hotel Moscow as the first representative in Russia of Hilton's Curio Collection, a brand of hotels in historic buildings. Whether the Hilton brand agreement and its loyalty benefits still apply in 2026 was not verified. Check with the hotel.

Tip: Do not assume that Hilton Honors benefits apply.

A small hotel with a restaurant

Booking pages list a restaurant, a buffet breakfast, half board, a fitness area and free Wi-Fi. The room count under the new name was not found, while the Golden Apple had 92 rooms. Ask the hotel which room types are available.

Tip: Ask which room types are available.

A booking page puts the Lenkom Theatre a few steps from the hotel and the Hermitage Garden theater about 10 minutes' walk away, and another lists the Obraztsov Puppet Theatre as the nearest sight. Malaya Dmitrovka also has shops and galleries. Check the theaters' own programs.

Four metro stations nearby

A booking site gives Chekhovskaya at about 5 minutes' walk, Pushkinskaya at 422 meters, Tverskaya at 495 meters and Mayakovskaya at 598 meters, which puts the hotel on Lines 2, 7 and 9. The metro has its own guide on this site.

History of Golden Apple Boutique Hotel
