Tour The Gorgeous Radisson Royal Hotel In Moscow, Where The International Quantum Computing Conference Was Held

When I saw where I'd be staying for the International Conference on Quantum Technologies in Moscow, I didn't even think it was a hotel.

The Radisson Royal Hotel is located on the bank of the Moscow River and it's a downright imposing building, looking more like a house of worship than a place for tourists to sleep off their vodka hangovers.

Formerly called the Hotel Ukraina, it's one of Moscow's "Seven Sisters," a collection of seven majestic buildings constructed between 1947 and 1953.

The locals call them Stalinskie Vysotki, or "Stalinist Skyscrapers."

At 650 feet tall, the Radisson is the second-largest of the seven and it's home to 34 stories of luxury. It boasts 505 single bedrooms and 38 suites.

Here's what it looks like inside.

Welcome to the Moscow Radisson!

Here's the lobby – opulent columns, marble floors, and atmospheric chandeliers.
