The Metropol Hotel opens a prayer room for Muslim guests

The Metropol Hotel continues to raise the bar for hospitality services by introducing a dedicated prayer room for Muslim guests. The new space, available to all hotel patrons starting today, is designed to provide the utmost comfort for both Russian Muslims and those from abroad — who are visiting the capital in ever increasing numbers.

The prayer room is located on the grounds of the five-star hotel, in the very heart of Moscow. For the convenience of worshippers, it features a qibla indicating the direction of Mecca, along with prayer mats and copies of the Quran. Everything needed to perform ritual ablutions has also been provided, making it easy for guests to perform their religious practices in the heart of the city, without leaving the hotel. Access to the room is granted to all Metropol guests upon inquiry at the reception desk.

The establishment of the prayer room aligns with the hotel’s ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere for travelers from Muslim-majority countries and regions of Russia. In addition to the new prayer space, the hotel offers a comprehensive array of amenities to ensure a pleasant stay for Muslim guests: Certified halal foods are available for breakfast in the iconic glass-roofed restaurant, and the necessary prayer accessories are provided in all rooms upon request.

This innovation underscores the Metropol’s status as a premier destination for business and cultural tourism, and an institution that upholds the traditions of hospitality and takes into account the needs of guests of various faiths. The addition of a prayer room makes a stay at the hotel more comfortable for those seeking a haven of spiritual peace and reflection amidst the vibrant city life.
