The Peter I Hotel is located on historic Neglinnaya Ulitsa, within comfortable walking distance of the Kremlin, Red Square and, particularly, the Bolshoy Theater, just a few minutes' down the road from the Peter I Hotel. This glorious neoclassical edifice houses one of the most celebrated musical theatres in the world, renowned for the muscular dancing style of its ballet troupe.
Other sights of interest in the immediate vicinity of the Peter I Hotel include the Bank of Russia, an imposing and ornately decorated late 19th-century building located almost directly opposite the hotel on Neglinnaya Ulitsa. Behind the hotel in a courtyard accessed from Ulitsa Petrovka, the Museum of the GULAG is a small but extremely active museum that commemorates the victims of Soviet oppression via a wide variety of documentary and artistic projects. In sharp contrast, the Sandunov Baths, also a few steps from the hotel on Sandunovskiy Pereulok, are the most famous public baths in Moscow, and offer guests a uniquely Russian experience as well as a taste of 19th century luxury.
