The building of the new eighteen-storey Hotel will be located near the embankment of the Bolshaya Kamyshnaya River in Kemerovo. It will become the tallest hotel building in Western Siberia with a panoramic view of the city.

The 140-meter high flying warm walkway, which can be used as an exhibition space, will connect the hotel with the Museum and Theater and Educational Complex (mitoK). The complex will include branches of the State Russian Museum, the State Academic Mariinsky Theatre and the Kuzbass Art Center.

Since 2018, on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin, special cultural and educational clusters have been created in the regions. In addition to Kemerovo, such complexes are also being built in Sevastopol, Kaliningrad and Vladivostok. The construction of these facilities has a common strategic goal – to introduce citizens of the most diverse regions of Russia to cultural sites and events in Central Russia. Now the guests of Kemerovo will be able to combine a comfortable stay in the city with a visit to a new cultural cluster in Western Siberia. For residents and guests of the region, the journey to the branches of the cultural centers of St. Petersburg will be 140 meters along the connecting passage instead of 4,000 kilometers. And for residents of Kemerovo, such a trip will not differ from the usual way to work.

The hotel will contain 18 ground and two underground floors. Of the 239 rooms, one presidential suite and several superior suites are planned. At the same time, eight rooms will be equipped specifically for low-mobility groups of citizens, and a comfortable barrier-free environment is present throughout the hotel.

On the upper floors there will be a Sky Bar, fitness and SPA; on the second floor guests will be able to visit the restaurant and the administration office; and on the ground floor there will be a lobby for hotel guests, a lobby bar, a bank office, as well as a transformable conference area that can be rented for events. In total, the hotel can accommodate up to 500 people, and at the same time there are about 1,000 people in the building.

The Metropolis team in this project is the general designer. The entire complex is built using BIM technologies. The Austrian bureau Coop Himmelb(l)au worked on the architectural concept, and the Metropolis company was engaged in adapting the concept to Russian realities.
