The hotel’s page lists a flotilla of ten yachts that offer river cruises all year, and the rooms have views of the House of Government, Kutuzovsky Prospekt, Novy Arbat or Moscow City, according to a hotel site. The Kremlin is about 3 km away. Rates vary, so check the official page.

History of Radisson Collection Hotel Moscow

Hotel Ukraina is one of the Seven Sisters, a group of Stalin-era skyscrapers in Moscow, and the ceremonial laying of the first stone took place on 7 September 1947, coinciding with the 800th anniversary of the city.

The hotel opened on 25 May 1957 as the Ukraina and was among Europe’s largest hotels at the time. It stands 206 meters tall on a bend of the Moskva River.

After half a century of service, the hotel was overhauled and modernized over three years, and on 28 April 2010 it reopened as Radisson Royal, Moscow, according to the same page. In January 2019 it joined the Radisson Collection brand and took the name Radisson Collection Hotel, Moscow, with Radisson Hotel Group as the operator.

Guides give 497 rooms and apartments and 34 floors. The names of the architects and the details of the construction were not confirmed in the sources read, so this section is short.

Booking and Check-In at Radisson Collection Hotel Moscow

Book through the hotel’s own page on radissonhotels.com or the older hotel site, where the current rates, room types and rules are shown. The booking page gives check-in at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00. Breakfast, cancellation terms and deposits depend on the rate, and one rate offer mentions breakfast and a late check-out subject to availability. Because brand and booking arrangements of hotels in Russia changed after 2022, do not assume that chain apps, points or loyalty benefits apply, and check that you are booking with the hotel.

  • 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.

Check all rates and rules on the official page.

  • The hotel is about 3 km from the Kremlin, so plan to use the metro or a taxi to reach the center.
  • Ask for a room facing the House of Government or Moscow City if the view matters.
  • The hotel's yachts offer river cruises, so ask whether they are open to non-guests.
  • Check-in is from 15:00, so ask about luggage storage if you arrive earlier; the luggage guide of this site explains options.

How we research and update our guides

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.

Paying for your trip: please read

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.
