Your guide to fine dining and a luxurious stay in the Russian capital during the Fifa World Cup

The Fifa World Cup 2018, spanning 11 cities in Russia, will inevitably force you to make a choice of destination when you plan your game-watching itinerary. Practically speaking, it is impossible to watch all 64 games, as some will be played simultaneously across four time zones. But, more importantly, not every city can offer you a luxurious trip.

If considering Moscow, take a look at these deluxe places to stay and dine when visiting the world’s largest country for the World Cup next year in the most stylish way possible.

The centre of The Fifa World Cup 2018, where the grand opening and final match will take place, Moscow will host 12 games, in total, in its two stadiums – Luzhniki Stadium and Spartak Stadium. After watching a series of adrenaline-pumping games, it’s time to enjoy some of the best restaurants and suites this city has to offer.

Fit for a king – The Ritz-Carlton suite

Frequented by numerous celebrities and presidents, the 10-year-old Ritz-Carlton Moscow offers fives types of suites – the Ritz-Carlton Suite, Moscow Suite, Carlton Suite, Tverskaya Club Suite and Executive Suite. The one-and-only Ritz-Carlton Suite is the largest (2,550 sq ft with 1.5 bathrooms and a meeting room), which will cost you around US$16,870 a night. While you may find it too competitive to book the suite that Barack Obama and Donald Trump had reportedly stayed in, the 1,390 sq ft Carlton Suite that costs around US$1,800 with a city view could be an alternative as there are 22 of these.
