History of Swissotel Krasnye Holmy Moscow
The idea for the project began in 1995, when a company called Moskva Krasnye Holmy was established to develop a business complex called Riverside Towers. The Swissôtel Krasnye Holmy Moscow opened in July 2005, designed by the architects TTA and Woods Bagot, in a tower of 34 floors, owned by the Turkish company Enka and operated by Accor.
In January 2016 the hotel ceased operations after sanctions against Turkey; it operates again today as a five-star hotel that has served guests for 20 years. The date of its reopening was not found.
The details of the hotel’s earlier history and later renovations were not confirmed in the sources read, and trade pages give 2014 as the year of the last renovation, so this section is short.
Booking and Check-In at Swissotel Krasnye Holmy Moscow
Book through the hotel’s own site, swissotelmoscow.ru, which invites guests to book directly with the hotel for special offers, or through the Accor Russia site. Older trade pages give check-in at 14:00 and check-out at 12:00, which may have changed. Breakfast, cancellation terms and deposits depend on the rate. Do not assume that Accor or other chain loyalty programs, apps or points apply in 2026, and check that you are booking with the hotel itself.
- 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.

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.
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.
