The new five-star Maidens Hotel embodies the charm of the 1930s Moscow and offers a unique experience that blends modern luxury and cultural heritage, delivering the highest level of comfort and impeccable world-class service. Like all boutique hotels, its appearance and design have countless stories to tell about the city, art, the surroundings, the past and the present.

The hotel opened in November 2024 in Khamovniki, one of the most prestigious neighbourhoods in central Moscow. It is located inside a refurbished telephone exchange in Zubovskaya Square: an eye-catching example of post-constructivist architecture. This is an astounding success story. The exchange has been transformed into a hotel for discerning guests who appreciate not only first-class service and proximity to city landmarks, but also unique architecture, a storied past and a touch of contemporary art within its walls. The hotel has 118 state-of-the-art rooms, including 22 spacious suites. Each room is astonishing in its bold, striking combination of avant-garde design solutions and ultra-modern comfort.

Architecture:

The hotel building has all the hallmarks of post-constructivism, including large-scale geometric forms, such as triangular bay windows on the ground floor, as well as tall pylons that make the style more refined and add vertical accents. Thanks to all these features, the building remains the architectural calling card of its time, even today.

After the exchange gained a second life as a modern hotel, its facade came alive as well, its grey accents replaced a more vibrant red. This new palette with a terracotta facade was proposed by the Gran architectural workshop, headed by Pavel Andreev. It has made the building more noticeable and turned it into an homage to the Russian avant-garde. 

Interior:

The hotel interiors were designed by the Moscow-based Front Architecture bureau, one of the leaders in the field of hotel solutions. The architects tried to bridge different historical periods by applying techniques characteristic of avant-garde and constructivism but with a modern twist. They were inspired by Varvara Stepanova's prints, which became the prototype for the carpet, along with sketches by El Lissitzky and Kazimir Malevich, which were reimagined within the floor patterns. At the heart of the lobby is a light installation featuring colourful, geometric crystal pendants, a tribute to the works of Wassily Kandinsky. 

The stylized light fixtures and art objects at the headboards of the beds evoke the daring creations of Suprematism masters. The interior design is a playful pastiche of the avant-garde style: it revives legendary paintings while deliberately avoiding one-to-one replicas. Hotel guests will especially appreciate the Art Deco mini-bars and luggage racks, as well as Bauhaus wall light sconces, which are shaped like the headlights of the Moskvitch, the first Soviet car.
