Rublëvo, Moscow — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Where to stay in Rublëvo
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Rublëvo is a small residential district of Moscow, not a place for hotels. It grew as a settlement around the Rublyovo pumping station, the waterworks that draws Moscow's supply from the Moskva River, so its streets hold homes rather than lodgings. Lodging is thin on the ground in Rublyovo.
Stay here only if you want a quiet riverside corner near the waterworks, with central Moscow well away and most visitors basing themselves closer in. The Moskva River sets the edge.
