The hotel will boast 173 guestrooms and authentic dining experiences, including a specialty and casual restaurant, as well as lobby bar. The hotel will also feature a business center and fitness center with spa. The redesign of the hotel will focus on restoring the historic elements of the property and will add an extension to the facade of the building.

The new Renaissance Kiev Hotel will also introduce the Renaissance Hotels brand signature programs to the city, including its R Navigator lifestyle hospitality concierge service and the RLife LIVE entertainment program which showcases the best of emerging talent within the local arts community to both hotel guests and locals alike.
