In late February, the DoubleTree Arbat Hotel opened in Moscow – a long-awaited hotel with 100 rooms, which was supposed to become part of the Hilton DoubleTree chain.

Construction began back in 2021, and despite the fact that since then the chain has suspended all contracts with hotel owners located under international sanctions, as well as planned construction and opening of new hotels in Russia, the DoubleTree Arbat hotel opened and fully complies with DoubleTree standards – guests are even greeted with the signature walnut cookies with chocolate chips.

The hotel is not bookable on the global Hilton.com website, but status members of the Hilton Honors loyalty program can expect privileges commensurate with their level.
