The Ritz-Carlton Moscow is changing its name following Marriott’s exit from Russian market

The luxury hotel, located steps away from Red Square on Tverskaya Ulitsa, will now be known as The Carlton Moscow, it said in a statement carried by the state-run TASS news agency.

“The Ritz-Carlton Moscow will continue to operate as an independent hotel in accordance with the best practices of the international network and announces a new name, ‘The Carlton Moscow’,” the statement read. 

The renamed hotel also announced a new website address, www.carltonmoscow.com, as well as a new logo. 

Marriott International, which had owned some 30 hotels in Russia, closed its corporate office in Moscow and suspended further investment into Russia in March, joining a wave of multinational companies exiting the Russian market over the Kremlin’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.
