Pekin Hotel to be restored, rebranded
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is adding a major Moscow hotel to its portfolio. Fairmont announced that the Pekin Hotel will undergo an extensive restoration program and reopen as the Fairmont Pekin Moscow in 2017.
Fairmont said the project is being developed by HALS-Development, a high-profile Russian real estate developer. The 236-key hotel first opened in 1955, and was designed by Dimity Chechulin, one of the Soviet Union's best-known architects. Chechulin’s credits also include Moscow’s White House, four of its Metro Stations and one of its Seven Sister buildings.
“We are fortunate to count some of the most iconic hotels in the world amongst our portfolio, and we take our role as custodians of these great properties very seriously,” said Chris Cahill, president, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. “This project not only affords us the opportunity to offer our guests a new, key destination in the largest country in the world but allows us to partner with HALS Development, which in addition to being a highly regarded property developer also shares our sensibility for heritage and preservation.”
Toronto-based Fairmont’s holdings include The Plaza in New York, London’s The Savoy and the Fairmont Peace Hotel Shanghai. In 2012, the company plans to open hotels in Baku, Azerbaijan; Jaipur, India; Kyiv, Ukraine; Manila, Philippines; and The Palm in Dubai.
