Guests can now choose between classic suites with early 20th century genuine interior sand any of the newly renovated rooms in the Grand Superior, Deluxe, Grand Deluxe, Metropol Suite, Premier Suite, or Ambassador Suite categories
The largest-scale refurbishment that the historic hotel has seen since the 1980s included Metropol’sentire first floor and some suites on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors and will continue in the next phases in the nearest future. The area of the Superior rooms and Suites at least doubled at the cost of reducing their number. Their surface now is from 40 to 135 m2.
Naturally enough, one unique architectural feature of Metropol suites was preserved: bay-window elevations and windows with low sills that lure guests into taking a walk around the centre of Moscow. The windows in suites can now be opened. Historic drawings were used to manufacture the new window frames.
The living rooms and bedrooms in suites use quiet and elegant colours typical of Russian art nouveau: shades of grey, beige, olive green, and greyish blue, the colour of natural oak, and aged gold. The halls have been designed to preserve one of Metropol’s most typical shades: pale pink and light beige toned up by the olive grey of the carpet.
The interior of the new suites also incorporates Metropol’s main gems: antique items and decor elements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. For instance, the legendary piano that Michael Jackson played in 1993; early 20th century Karelian birch chairs and French mantel clocks of the first half of the 19th century; antique bronze chandeliers and candelabrum-type table lamps. The furniture in the renovated suites was exclusively designed by Svetlana Pisarskaya and is made of Russian oak, the material most typical of interiors in the early 20th century. The textile used in the suites’ design was made in Russia. The bedspreads with metallic shine resembling aged gold are hand-made at a Russian factory exclusively for Metropol.
