Bulgari will be creating its first
Hotels and Resorts in Moscow.
Bulgari group managing director Jean-Christophe Babin has
signed an agreement with Russian investor Alexey Bogachev for a
project that will be implemented by the Moscow-based real estate
development company StormProperties.
The hotel is expected to open in the Russian capital in
2019 and will be the seventh Hotel Bulgari in the world, after
the opening of one in Milan in 2004, one in Bali in 2006, London
in 2012 and Shanghai, Beijing and Dubai expected in 2017.
The hotel will be erected in a high-end area only 300
meters from the most important parts of the city, such as the
Kremlin and the Red Square. It will be adjacent to the
world-famous Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory.
It will have 65 rooms and suites, including a
300-square-meter one with a 600-square-meter terrace looking out
over Moscow and the Kremlin. The hotel will have a restaurant,
bar and 1,600-square-meter spa as well as a 25-meter-long pool.
Part of a large building complex between Bolshaya
Nikitskaya and Sredniy Kislovskiye, the hotel will include a
residential section with luxury apartments.
The project, by the Italian architecture firm Antonio
Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners in collaboration with the
Russian Atrium, will be offering a combination of traditional
themes in order to reflect the design and style of the
surrounding area. Modern architectural elements are put
alongside those of traditional architecture through
conservational restoration. The internal building will undergo a
complete overhaul in order to offer the highest possible levels
of luxury services, while the internal courtyard, inspired by
those of Italian Renaissance ones, will offer hotel guests an
area to use during the summer season.
The building was formerly the residence of a family from
the country's nobility, and later home to musicians from the
Tchaikovsky Conservatory.
''The reconstruction of an entire block of Moscow's Old
City center,'' Citterio said, ''is very important at the
cultural-economic level. The project will include the
restoration and harmonization of the facades dating back to
different ages.''
