Rossiya Hotel I read an article in the newspaper yesterday that the Hotel Rossiya in Moscow is the largest one in the world. It is a 12-story building that has 3,200 rooms. It can accommodate 6,000 guests. It has 15 restaurants and 93 lifts. About 3,000 people work in the hotel. The ballroom is known as the world’s largest. Furthermore, there is a 21-story “Presidential tower” in the central courtyard. Local residents are not allowed to live in the hotel. Foreigners are charged 16 times more than the usual very low rate charged to Russian officials.
