Facing an unsightly Soviet-era hotel across the street, the sleek modern Arbat Nord seems to be showing its neighbour how to run a good establishment. The 33 modern, carpeted rooms are decorated in warm hues, and even though the furniture is fairly cheap, there’s plenty of space. Efficient English-speaking staff are on hand and the welcome is warm.
Sunny top-floor rooms are set beneath the mansard roof. Kettles are available upon request.
