First Holiday Inn Express® to Open in the Russian Capital

Guests can enjoy the beauty of the Kremlin or a show at the Bolshoi Theatre while staying at this brand-new Holiday Inn Express® in the centre of Moscow

November 20, 2017 // Franchising.com // InterContinental Hotels Group® (IHG®), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, is proud to open Holiday Inn Express® Moscow - Paveletskaya. Located in the thriving business district, the hotel is a short walk from Paveletskaya Station and the Aeroexpress train (offering a direct connect to Domodedovo airport), making arrival and departure simple for hotel guests.

Managed by the Cosmos Group, who also manage the Holiday Inn Express Voronezh Kirova, Holiday Inn Express Moscow – Paveletskaya boasts 243 Holiday Inn Express Next Generation rooms. Next Generation rooms have been designed based on guest insight to balance home comforts with smart design features that give travellers a flexible space to work or relax in. Each room features smart TVs allowing guests to stream their own media from a personal device and built-in USB ports next to the bed. The traditional desk has been replaced with a flexible work/rest corner, and taking inspiration from business class aeroplane seats, the beds are larger, cosier and have padded noise-reducing headboards.

All guests receive unlimited free Wifi and an Express Start Breakfast™ included, offering a selection of hot and continental food. The Express Café & Bar is open 24/7 and is the perfect place for travellers to eat and relax with simple food choices and a well-stocked bar. For business meetings, guests can enjoy naturally lit meeting spaces with complimentary WiFi, screens and flip charts.
