This new hotel announces its presence with a giant mural facing artsy vul Kastrychnitskaya. The creativity continues inside, where a circular atrium awaits and colourful carpeting with a squiggly motif covers all floor space. The suitably snazzy rooms feature contemporary art and bathtubs, and the deluxe rooms have kitchenettes with bar seating. The in-house Simple Cafe is wonderful.
