Another 'eagle's nest' to have a lunch or even stay at.
As the name suggests, Park-Hotel Moskva is a hotel, but I've never stayed there due to obvious reasons. Accommodation may be and probably is good, but below I aim to promote specifically its restaurant. Normally, it's not really affordable for the average traveler, but they offer lunch menu which in fact is pretty decent.
And if you agree 16th floor canteen has a good view - in Moskva you are even higher! If you noticed the tall building on the cover image of my article - it means you've found Park-Hotel Moskva. It's indeed right across.
You just have to hit Floor 19 with the elevator and you'll get right in the middle of the restaurant. First thing that welcomes you - fancy red carpet of course. The style is some real deal from the past century, and it seems not to have been changed since the so-called Socialist regime.
If you are not that into heights, there's still something for you - the lovely summer garden right next to its main entrance, which if I am not mistaken offers the same lunch menu as the 19th floor saloon.
