Barvikha Hotel & Spa - World's Most Luxurious Hotels

Barvikha Hotel & Spa - World's Most Luxurious HotelsIn the world of luxury hotels and resorts, one might expect that Moscow would be the last place to find a first-rate hotel, never mind a luxurious and modern hotel/spa hybrid thats both warm and welcoming. However, Moscow has come a long way, and the Barvikha Hotel & Spa easily stands out as one of the finest new resorts on the planet.

The hotel is located in the Barvikha Luxury Village an ultra exclusive suburb of Moscow. This high-end area, known for its style and elegance, is the quintessential spot for such a well-designed, chic property, and the design team pulled no punches when it was time to build the resort only a few short years ago.

To handle the modern design aspect of the luxury hotel, Antonio Citterioa world famous designerwas brought in. Antonio outfitted the hotels 65 suites and spa with features such as separate terraces, fireplaces, private unique massage tables, steam showers, and an overall chic and modern feel thats light years removed from how Moscow is viewed.

From the lobby and restaurants to the individual rooms, the Barvikha Hotel & Spa turns heads with its pure originality. The furniture in the rooms, and even the way the walls are angled and built, completely abandons any traditional style of construction or designing. Everything located on the property is fresh and contemporary.

The spa portion of the resort, located on the ground floor, is an expansive project, featuring an in-ground, covered pool, a restaurant with a bar, state-of-the-art gym equipment, saunas, and more. The hotel has definitely earned some high praise, receiving a grade of 96.5% by The Leading Small Hotels of the World inspection team.

The individual suites really showcase what the Barvikha Hotel & Spa is all about. All 65 rooms feature a unique, floor-heated terrace. No two terraces are the same at Barvikha. All rooms also boast climate control features, HD plasma TVs with satellite service, high speed Internet access, a safety deposit box, mini bar and even a pillow menu.

The suites bathrooms are also state-of-the-art and large, featuring steam showers, a separate bath and shower cabin, lighted mirrors, and other accessories like makeup stations and hair dryers. Some rooms also feature private massage tables, for guests who would prefer the spa treatment in the privacy of their own quarters.

Barvikha Hotel & Spa isnt overly large, so theres only one restaurant found on the property. However, this unique eatery seems to be more than enough to keep the guests happy. For starters, the restaurant is designed like the hotels rooms, only much larger. It features a large, open terrace and famous chef Anatoly Komm fills the menu with tasty and healthy dishes.

Other services of the hotel & spa include: 24-hour concierge service; 24-hour room service; an on-staff butler; babysitting; on-site florist; same-day laundry/dry cleaning service; and even a shoe shine service.
