Four Seasons Hotel Moscow invites you to become the only guest of St Basil’s Cathedral during its closed hours and discover all the secrets of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
During the private visit, guests will explore the great history and interior details of the cathedral, which is decorated with intricate wall paintings and an impressive collection of authentic ancient Russian icons. The interiors of this unique ensemble of 11 churches reflect the history of the cathedral spanning over four and a half centuries, each with its own legends and mysteries.
Guests of the exclusive tour will have the chance to uncover the secrets of the bell tower of St. Basil's Cathedral. You will learn about the magnificent bells, each of which has its own unique, harmonious “voice”. Casting a bell is an intricate process that requires designing its shape with meticulous attention to detail, following precise mathematical principles. Everything matters – the thickness, the curve of the walls, the temperature of the alloy, and many other nuances, all of which you’ll discover during the tour
During your short walk from the hotel to the cathedral, a concierge of Four Seasons Hotel Moscow will enhance the experience by sharing the most unexpected facts about Red Square landmarks. After the tour, the hotel invites guests to enjoy the signature Russian tea time with homemade desserts created by Pastry Chef Igor Melnikov. A miniature sculpture from Belgian chocolate artfully replicating the image of the cathedral will become your memorable gift.
