Approximately 200 rooms and offices inside the building cover an area of some 65,000 square meters.
A frieze of cut marble decorates the walls of the main reception hall.
The completion date is engraved on the upper portion of the protruding turret.
Included in the building are 18 express lifts.
The polished black granite floor in the entrance lobby contrasts sharply with the surrounding light marble walls.
The relatively restrained decoration and uniform composition distinguish the building from the other six Vysotniye Zdaniya.
The Belgrade Hotels were designed to enhance the monumental bulk of this building in the view from Borodino Bridge.
114 meters up the main facade is the reinforced concrete CCCP emblem of a hammer and a sickle in the center of two ears of wheat. It covers a surface of 144 square meters.
In a sharp contrast to the brown facade, the sculptured bas-relief, white-limestone double entrance surrounds two metal trellis doors. On both sides of the grand entrance are two large obelisks of dark gray stone.
Initially this was the only one of the Vysotnie Zdaniya without a spire, but Stalin, reviewing the plans, told the architects to "make them all sharp-nosed like that", meanwhile drawing a crude spire himself on the blueprints.
