Hey! Yes please. There are so many services I'm so confused. I am now going to fly to Russia but will still do the train trip between the two cities.

But I was planning on going to Russia for Fashion Week last year, and I did some hotel research and came up with these:
(I don't remember their location, but know that they are all boutique type properties.)
MOSCOW
Hotel Baltschug Kempinski
Ararat Park Hyatt Moscow
Mamaison All-Suites Spa Hotel Pokrovka Moscow
ST. PETERSBURG
Angleterre Hotel
Alexander House Boutique Hotel

Thanks for this list. Ultimately I'll decide based on location but these look pretty good. And you should really go especially if you've been learning the language. I have a few books on Russian but I've never seriously attempted to learn it. Maybe I might learn the alphabet before I go.
