The Radisson Slavyanskaya Hotel is on the other side of the Moskva River from the majority of Moscow's major visitor attractions, although Red Square and the Kremlin are only a few metro stops away. Within walking distance of the hotel are two of the landmark Stalinist skyscrapers known as the "Seven Sisters", the Hotel Ukraina (now the Radisson Royal Hotel) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The latter, directly across the Borodinsky Bridge from the hotel, marks the end of Ulitsa Arbat, a pedestrianized historic street famous for its souvenir stalls and street performers, and for sights including the Pushkin Apartment Museum and Moscow's Peace Wall, originally painted by local schoolchildren in 1989-1990.
