10 Moscow hotels for budgets big and small

(CNN) — Moscow has a deserved reputation as an expensive city to visit; however, people who travel here do have a range of options.

Here are 10 good choices of places to stay, whether you can afford one of its luxury hotels or you need to rest your head somewhere inexpensive:

LUXURY

1. Swissôtel

The sweeping panoramas seen from the Swissôtel’s 27 cylindrical stories outclass those of the low-lying luxury hotels near the Kremlin. Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room add drama to the scene.

The design strikes a balance between comfortable and ostentatious, with grand marble bathrooms softened by earthy upholstery and simple hardwood floors.

Although slightly outside the city center, Swissôtel has the advantage of being right by Moscow Paveletsky, the railway station for trains to and from Domodedovo Airport.

The highlight of any stay is a cocktail at the flying saucer-like City Space Bar.
