I love to travel! I prefer to stay at more luxury hotels, but try to be flexible based on my travel companions. I try to squeeze as much as possible into every day, including museums, galleries, and other sights, nice meals, and bars or lounges at night.

June 15 2007: The Marriot Royal Aurora Hotel is in an amazing location; perfect for a tourist trip. I think most of the other guests were business travelers. It's close to great restaurants, bars, the Kremlin, Red Square, and St. Basil's Cathedral. The service was wonderful. They have daily butler service that will bring you coffee every morning (free!) and a pretty good gym. It is a bit pricey, but so is everything in Moscow. It was a good value for the money, especially compared to other hotels in the area. I would stay there again.
