There are more than 200 hundred hotels of all shapes and sizes in Moscow ranging from five-star luxury to budget options for tourists watching their pennies. It is estimated that every night in Moscow hotels welcome around 70,000 guests. After the October Revolution, hotels in the city became state-run and many hotels that were active prior to that time were closed.

"Later into the twenties and thirties and beyond, the first “Soviet” Hotels opened with names such as The Moscow Hotel, The Ukraine Hotel and The Leningradskay Hotel. Post communism has seen a renaissance of luxury muscovite hotels with names such as the Baltschug Kempinsky and the Ararat Park Hyatt.
