It certainly seems as though Julian Chang has always been destined for a life at sea . “It’s in my family’s blood,” he professes. He started out in its less glamorous sector, working in his family’s highly successful international offshore business. The business was the leading builder of semi-submersible oil rigs in the world, and through it, Chang acquired a solid foundation in managing maritime projects.

Moving into yacht building and brokerage almost felt like a natural progression, although Chang maintains that he never took success for granted. “Venturing into the megayacht business was one of the biggest risks I have ever taken,” he says.

Julian Chang

Fortunately, the risks that he took and the decisions that he made proved to be sound ones. Today, Raffles Yacht has a reputation for building exceptional megayachts , including two award-winning vessels that won Most Innovative Motor Yacht at the Showboats International Awards in Monaco , and Best Motor Yacht over 75 Metres at the Boat International Awards in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Even when Chang leaves the office, he doesn’t leave the ocean. He’s an avid scuba diver, water skier and fisherman. Needless to say, he enjoys cruising in his yacht and sailing to his favourite destination, the Indonesian archipelago .  

To protect what he loves, he’s a board member of the International Seakeepers Society, a charity set up by yacht owners to develop instrumentation on yachts that can be used to monitor sea conditions. As the founder and president of the organisation’s Asian arm, he devotes his leisure time to creating awareness of the importance of marine conservation in the region.

Accor and Kievskaya Ploshchad Group of Companies have announced the signing of the first Raffles hotel in Russia, paving the way for development of a key site overlooking Moscow’s Red Square.

The forthcoming flagship hotel, which is to be managed by Raffles Hotels & Resorts , will be located next to the Kremlin right at the very heart of Moscow. The property is expected to open in 2022.

A privileged setting

Raffles Moscow is now under development across a 64,000 sq m urban oasis at the point that Zaryadye Park meets the historic Varvarka Street and Slavyanskaya Square. From here, guests will be able to enjoy memorable views across Red Square and the Kremlin ensemble, including the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed.

In line with the Raffles brand’s principles and corresponding with Kievskaya Ploshchad Group of Companies ’ priorities, the hotel’s design and development efforts will focus on preserving the historic character of the surrounding facades. Inside, the property promises to embody the hallmarks of sophistication and timeless ambience, combining elements such as innovative cuisine, art and culture, that Raffles prides itself on.

“We bring to life innovative projects and create opportunities for people to work, develop and rest in high-quality environments,” said God Nisanov, CEO of Kievskaya Ploshchad Group of Companies. “Therefore, Kievskaya Ploshchad is proud to present a multifaceted hotel and residential complex in historical Varvarka Street – a new destination icon of hospitality.

“Raffles Moscow has been developed to sensitively respect the recommendations of the Ministry of Culture and in close cooperation with the Department of Cultural Legacy of Moscow. Leading upscale designers and creative architects of the world have collaborated to bring all elements of the project together.

“This is a unique project in terms of the architectural value and the level of personalised service that will be delivered together with Accor and its acclaimed Raffles brand. We are very excited to move the project forward with our partners and firmly believe this iconic address will significantly increase the international attractiveness of Moscow in the tourism industry.”

“Announcing the arrival of the iconic Raffles brand in Russia is an extraordinary moment for Accor,” added Sebastien Bazin, chairman and chief executive office of Accor . “The hotel’s unique location and legendary Raffles service will make it one of the most exciting openings of 2022 for Accor. It is a privilege to be working in partnership with Kievskaya Ploshchad Group of Companies and we look forward to bringing this new jewel to life.”

A historic location allied to a luxurious offering

The landmark hotel will comprise 153 keys over nine floors. These will include 20 two-bedroom suites, 19 junior suites and two presidential suites, which both feature two bedrooms and an outdoor terrace. All rooms will command views over the city – and four will have exclusive access to the green outdoor terrace of the hotel’s courtyard.

Raffles Moscow will feature a grand entrance with a historic arch, along with a mosaic courtyard, a spa with thermal zones, a fitness centre, a Russian bath, beauty-salon services and a 25-metre pool, as well as a shopping gallery.

The culinary offering is to include five haute-dining restaurants, including three signature chef restaurants and a Ladurée bakery by famous Russian restaurateur Alexander Rappoport. Notably, the hotel will also house a legendary Raffles Long Bar.

On top of this, Raffles Moscow plans to include ample space for events, from a 730 sq m Grand Ballroom to four smaller meeting rooms and an outdoor event area.

The hotel, which is being brought to life by British design studio Winch in collaboration with Accor’s luxury design team, is expected to open in the second half of 2022.

According to the TOPHOTELCONSTRUCTION online database, 63 hotel projects are currently in the pipeline across Russia:

Exploring moscow: a journey through time.

Exploring Moscow: A journey through time

Moscow is a city that captivates the senses and enriches the soul, offering a journey through history, culture, and modern marvels. Whether you’re exploring its grand landmarks, indulging in its vibrant festivals, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Moscow promises an unforgettable adventure writes DIVYA BHATIA

Moscow, the pulsating heart of Russia, is a city where history and modernity dance together in a spectacular ballet. From the majestic Kremlin to the lively boulevards, every inch of Moscow whispers tales of its storied past and bustling present. My exploration of this enigmatic city was nothing short of magical, packed with cultural delights and historical wonders that left me spellbound.

Moscow greets its visitors not just with its iconic landmarks but also with a vibrant cultural scene. The Moscow Tea Time project, for instance, offers a taste of local tradition with its distinctive red and gold porcelain teapots, serving up an array of tea blends and traditional pastries. It’s a cozy experience that warms you from the inside out. Meanwhile, the Moscow Estates project hosts festivals in historic estates, offering a chance to immerse yourself in Russia’s rich heritage through everything from ancient games to modern concerts. These experiences transform a visit to Moscow into a journey through time, leaving you enriched and enchanted.

Moscow’s storied past breathes life into its present

Moscow, the capital of Russia, boasts a rich history that continues to shape its vibrant, modern identity. First mentioned in 1147, Moscow began as a modest settlement but quickly grew into a significant trade and political hub. By the late 13th century, it became the centre of a principality, eventually transforming into the heart of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Its rise continued solidifying Moscow’s status as the capital of a centralized Russian state. Despite Peter the Great shifting the capital to St. Petersburg in 1712, Moscow remained crucial, playing a key role in Russia’s national identity and resilience, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars in 1812.

Following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, Moscow resumed its role as Russia’s capital and became the epicentre of the Soviet Union. The city experienced vast industrialization and became a symbol of Soviet power, marked by landmarks such as the Kremlin and the Lenin Mausoleum. Post-Soviet Moscow, emerging after 1991, embraced economic transformation and cultural revitalization, becoming a dynamic metropolis that intertwines historical richness with contemporary life.

Moscow’s history is vividly present in its architecture, such as the Kremlin and St. Basil’s Cathedral, and its cultural institutions like the State Historical Museum and the Bolshoi Theatre. Monuments and public spaces commemorate significant events and figures, creating a living narrative that enriches the daily lives of Muscovites. Historical districts like Kitay-Gorod preserve the city’s heritage while coexisting with modern development. Through its streets, buildings, and public events, Moscow’s past remains an integral part of its vibrant present, making it a city where history and modernity coexist harmoniously.

Moscow is a traveller’s paradise

Moscow today is a vibrant and welcoming city that offers a rich blend of history, culture, and modernity, making it a friendly destination for visitors from around the world. The city’s efficient public transportation system, including its world-renowned metro with opulent stations, ensures easy navigation through its many attractions. Tourists can explore iconic sites such as the Kremlin, Red Square, and Saint Basil’s Cathedral, while also enjoying the city’s diverse culinary scene, which ranges from traditional Russian fare to international cuisines. Moscow’s green spaces, like Gorky Park and the Moscow River embankments, provide tranquil settings for relaxation and recreation. Additionally, the city’s hospitality industry offers a wide array of accommodations, from luxurious hotels to cozy boutique options, all known for their warm service. The cultural landscape is rich with theatres, museums, and galleries that cater to a variety of tastes, ensuring that every traveller finds something to marvel at. Whether one is drawn to the grand architecture, the bustling arts scene, or the vibrant nightlife, Moscow is a city that warmly embraces its visitors, making it a must-visit for any avid traveller.

Must-See Attractions

The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square

The Kremlin and Red Square are the heart and soul of Moscow, a UNESCO World Heritage site that dazzles with its grandeur and historical significance. From the moment you lay eyes on the Kremlin’s ruby stars and ancient tiles, you’re transported back in time. The Tsar Cannon and Tsar Bell greet you as you enter, relics of Russia’s imperial past that stand as a testament to its powerful history. The Armoury Chamber, brimming with treasures like the Fabergé eggs and royal regalia, offers a glittering glimpse into the opulence of the czarist era.

No visit to Moscow is complete without a stroll through Red Square, where the whimsical domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral create a fantastical skyline. Lenin’s Mausoleum, where the Soviet leader rests, adds a poignant touch to the experience. The Historical Museum and the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat add layers to the rich tapestry of Russian history.

Zaryadye Park

Just a stone’s throw from Red Square, Zaryadye Park blends natural beauty with futuristic architecture. This modern park offers breathtaking views of the Kremlin and the Moskva River, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon.

Church of the Ascension in Kolomenskoye

Venturing beyond the city center, the Church of the Ascension in Kolomenskoye stands as a marvel of Russian architecture. Built to commemorate the birth of Ivan the Terrible, this church is one of the first hipped roof temples in Russia and offers a serene escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve

Even with the Church of the Ascension under restoration, the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve provides a rich array of historical treasures. The palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the Falcon Court, and the beekeeper’s estate are just a few of the attractions that make this verdant park a delightful retreat.

Don’t let the acronym fool you-VDNKh, or the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy, is a must-see. This sprawling complex is a testament to Soviet and Russian progress, featuring exhibitions that span from agricultural innovations to space exploration. Pavilion 75, with its focus on the diverse regions of Russia, and the Cosmonautics and Aviation Centre, with its detailed exhibits on space travel, are particularly captivating.

The Moscow Eye

For a panoramic view of Moscow, the Moscow Eye is unbeatable. This Ferris wheel provides a bird’s-eye view of the city, offering a unique perspective on its sprawling urban landscape and architectural marvels.

Kolomenskoye Estate

This former royal estate is a beautiful blend of gardens and ancient structures, offering a tranquil escape steeped in history and charm.

Activities to Enjoy Crave Theatre

In the heart of Moscow, Crave Theatre stands as a beacon of contemporary theatrical arts. Known for its innovative and avant-garde performances, this intimate venue is a must-visit for culture enthusiasts. Be sure to book in advance, as tickets sell out quickly.

Shopping in Moscow

Moscow is a shopper’s paradise, offering everything from high-end boutiques to traditional markets. Explore GUM and TSUM for luxury brands, or head to the “Made in Moscow” shop for unique local goods. The Tsvetnoy department store is perfect for cutting-edge fashion, with regular events and pop-up markets that attract the city’s fashionistas.

Boat Trip on the “Erwin River” Yacht

An evening cruise on the Moskva River offers a magical view of Moscow’s landmarks. The yacht provides a luxurious setting to enjoy the cityscape, from the Kremlin to the modern skyscrapers of Moscow City, all bathed in the glow of sunset.

Where to Stay

Located along the Moskva River, Baltschug Kempinski Hotel offers a blend of historical charm and modern luxury. With stunning views of the Kremlin and Red Square, it provides an ideal base for exploring Moscow.

Traveling Within Moscow

The Moscow Metro is a marvel in itself, with ornate stations that are a joy to explore. Each station is a work of art, reflecting the grandeur and cultural heritage of Russia. From the neoclassical splendor of Komsomolskaya to the sleek elegance of Mayakovskaya, traveling on the metro is an experience in its own right.
