Beyond Moscow, there are very few hotels in Russia with executive club lounges. There’s a club lounge at Marriott Krasnaya Polyana in Sochi, Krasnodar Marriott, Ufa Sheraton, Voronezh Marriott, Hilton, and Corinthia St Petersburg.
However, many Marriott’s and Hilton’s in Russia do not have executive club lounges. Examples of these include the Saint Petersburg Renaissance, Novosibirsk Marriott, and Samara Renaissance, which don’t have club lounges. We review the best executive club lounge across Russia, but it will come as no surprise that most of these lounges are in Moscow.
There are several Hiltons in Russia, but they are mainly Hilton Garden Inns with no executive club lounges. The Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya and Hilton Saint Petersburg Expoforum both have executive club lounges and are both featured below. Interestingly, the Corinthia offers St Petersburg’s only five-star Executive Club Lounge.
In cities like Moscow or St. Petersburg, the weather is continental and humid, with long and cold winters and warm and short summers. Winter in Russia is perhaps the most wonderful time to visit and heralds a season of romantic sleigh rides in Moscow’s Sokolniki, performances of Petr Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker at the Bolshoi Theatre, and ice skating in Gorky Park.
I have compiled a list below containing the best luxury hotels with executive club lounges in Russia. I list the ones I consider to be the best at the top.
1. Ritz-Carlton, Moscow
In terms of sheer indulgence rather than value, the Ritz-Carlton, Moscow offers a Club Level which is hard to beat. Located just off Red Square next to the Kremlin and in the heart of a city steeped in history and art stands The Ritz-Carlton, Moscow, a luxury hotel that honors its breathtaking location in every detail. Enjoy a traditional Russian welcome of fresh bread and salt while surrounded by the neoclassical design of this Ritz-Carlton.
This hotel’s highlights include elegant guest rooms and suites, a luxury spa, and a rooftop terrace. The Ritz-Carlton Club is located on the 10th and 11th floors and offers a dedicated Concierge and a relaxed lounge environment. With panoramic views of The Red Square, Kremlin, and Cathedral of Christ the Savior, this is the best executive club lounge in Moscow.
Guests staying on the Club Level (Club Rooms, Club Rooms Red Square View, Tverskaya Club Suite, Moscow Suite, The Ritz-Carlton Suite), as well as guests staying in Carlton Suites have access to the Club Lounge and enjoy additional complimentary premium amenities and services.
Amenities within this exclusive lounge area include a summer terrace featuring panoramic views, five food and beverage presentations throughout the day, selections of wines, beers, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the day, personal check-in and check-out services, preferred reservations in the hotel’s spa, bars and restaurants and complimentary meeting room usage for one hour.
2. InterContinental Moscow Tverskaya
InterContinental Moscow Tverskaya has one of the best executive club lounges in Moscow. Putting you in the vibrant heart of the city, InterContinental Moscow Tverskaya is just 500 meters from 4 metro stations and near the State Central Museum of Contemporary History of Russia.

Relaxing evening dinners and drinks can be found at P-Square Gastrobar. There’s also a fitness facility, sauna, and Spa.
The InterContinental club lounge serves a very good buffet breakfast, including gluten-free options, snacks, afternoon tea, evening cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres. Club guests can check-in here and have the use of its business center and a meeting room. You can see what we have experienced in terms of food and drink at the club lounge at InterContinental O2 in London and the club lounge at InterContinental Park Lane which will give you an idea of what to expect.
3. Corinthia St Petersburg
Corinthia St Petersburg offers St Petersburg’s only five-star Executive Club Lounge and is, therefore, the best in the city. Guests in suites and executive rooms get access to the lounge and enjoy complimentary drinks and canapés throughout the day.

The lounge isn’t large but provides excellent breakfast and gourmet evening canapes and high-end alcoholic drinks with sparkling wine. There’s a business area with computers, printers, etc., which those in this executive club lounge can also use.
4. Hyatt Regency Moscow Petrovsky Park
