This is why we are especially proud that one of the most significant hotel buildings in Moscow has become a part of our portfolio,” he added. “In conclusion, I would like to individually highlight the level of professionalism of the hotel owners as well as the specialists who are carrying out restoration of this magnificent architectural monument.”
