Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This modern aquamarine building is so well hidden from the street that it feels remote, yet it's just around the corner from Moscow's top theaters and designer boutiques. The zone surrounding Akvarel was refashioned in the 1990s into a largely pedestrian district with all new buildings that vaguely echo the pastel facades of 18th-century Moscow. The hotel, built in 2003, is purely 21st century in style, with a small lobby cafe perfect for perusing Moscow's English-language press over breakfast. It attracts business groups and tourists, and offers deep discounts through online travel agencies. Reflecting the hotel's name (akvarel means \"pastel\" in Russian), rooms are decked in pale blue, green, or peach and feel light and open (though few are truly spacious). Breakfast and VAT are included in the rates quoted below.
