Moscow is one of the world’s largest and richest cities. The city is the capital of Russia and has a population of over 10.5 million people as per the 2007 population estimates. The city, being a capital city, is a destination of millions of people each year. Therefore, to meet the accommodation and luxury needs of these individuals, there is the need to establish luxury skie hotels and resorts in this city in Eastern Europe. Potential investors in the hotel sector need to know their potential competitors and the climate in the city. There are over 20 luxurious hotels in the city. However, some stand out due to their proximity and flair. The Ararat Park Hyatt is a luxurious hotel found on Neglinnaya Street, near Lubyanka. It offers various expensive services in its post-modern facilities. Baltschug Kempinski Hotel is in Ulitsa Baltschug near Tretyakovskaya.

The summer lasts through June, July and part of August. The cold season of winter lasts from December to April.
