A grand Art Nouveau landmark facing the Bolshoi, still Russian-owned and run, and a fixture of city life rather than a chain outpost.
Mosaic-clad facades outside; inside, a stained-glass dining hall, long corridors and rooms that keep their original period proportions.
Local tip: Non-guests can book a table in the Metropol Hall under the glass roof — worth it for the ceiling alone.
