Moscow, Russian Federation

The new five-star Maidens Hotel embodies the charm of the 1930s Moscow and offers a unique experience that blends modern luxury and cultural heritage, delivering the highest level of comfort and impeccable world-class service. Like all boutique hotels, its appearance and design have countless stories to tell about the city, art, the surroundings, the past and the present.The hotel opened in November 2024 in Khamovniki, one of the most prestigious neighbourhoods in central Moscow. It is located inside a refurbished telephone exchange in Zubovskaya Square: an eye-catching example of post-constructivist architecture. This is an astounding success story. The exchange has been transformed into a hotel for discerning guests who appreciate not only first-class service and proximity to city landmarks, but also unique architecture, a storied past and a touch of contemporary art within its walls. The hotel has 118 state-of-the-art rooms, including 22 spacious suites. Each room is astonishing in its bold, striking combination of avant-garde design solutions and ultra-modern comfort.Architecture:The hotel building has all the hallmarks of post-constructivism, including large-scale geometric forms, such as triangular bay windows on the ground floor, as well as tall pylons that make the style more refined and add vertical accents. Thanks to all these features, the building remains the architectural calling card of its time, even today.After the exchange gained a second life as a modern hotel, its facade came alive as well, its grey accents replaced a more vibrant red. This new palette with a terracotta facade was proposed by the Gran architectural workshop, headed by Pavel Andreev. It has made the building more noticeable and turned it into an homage to the Russian avant-garde.
