Moscow - a city of the most expensive hotels in the world.


Hotel business in Moscow has no such deep roots and traditions as, for example, in the Western Europe, but its development was prompt. In the XIX-th century beginning the hotel network consisted of 7 units, their predecessors were basically farmsteads. But in 1910 in a city about 77 inns operated 228 hotels and appartments for visitors. Last year the room in hotel in the Russian capital on the average price was about 165 pounds sterling - more expensively, than in London, Paris or New York. The prices in Moscow in comparison with 2004 have grown for 29 percent. The room of five-star hotels has sharply increased. Such are results of the research spent by company Business Travel International (BTI), engaged organisation of business trips.
Prompt growth of cost of dwelling of the visitor in Moscow was fixed also by the previous research of company Deloitte. It has found out that the mid-annual income of a hotel appartment in a city in 2004 has increased by 26 902 pounds. It for 31 percent above, than in the others 22 surveyed cities. The lifted up prices - a deficiency back, especially on inexpensive and democratic hotels without which any mass tourism is impossible basically. As though purposely lately the city has lost the largest hotels of a tourist class - "Intourist" and "Moscow" are disassembled, "Russia" and "Minsk" prepare for a pulling down.
It was "Inturist" hotel, this is "Ritz-Carlton" hotel, now.

Replacements by it is not expected, though the mayoralty accepted time and again special programs of a construction of inexpensive hotels. So was in 2000 when the network of hotels for visitors of middle class has been promised to capital, and the Institute of the General plan of Moscow even has picked up for them 170 sites, including in the centre. Any accessible hotel as a result and have not constructed: investors have not managed to master one sites, others have been transferred by decisions of the authorities under habitation building, the third in general have appeared are unsuitable for a construction of hotels. The same fate has comprehended and developed the General plan in 2003 the new general scheme of placing of hotels, basically three-stars, - 150 addresses appeared in it, and for working out of the concept and business plans of new hotels have allocated then 1,8 million budgetary roubles.

For any visitor naturally desire that the history began with a hotel threshold. Much it is not so indifferent, what its facade, an interior and a view from the window will be. Money also is paid for it, actually. Knowingly in the world so hotels with the big history and traditions where great and known writers, artists, politicians stopped are appreciated today. In this sense it especially nothing to offer Moscow. The hotels constructed still during imperial time, there are not so much: "National", "Metropol", "Sava" (former "Berlin"), "Centralnaya" (in the past "Lux-hotel"), "Balchug" (before "Novomoskovskaja") and "Budapest" (former "Russia").
