Taleon Club

Profusion of black Mercedes clogging up the road, black- jacketed security guards are eyeing you up, and finally, the black- caped doormen is giving you a warm reception, if you're lucky. The wealthy expats and Russian millionaires come to Taleon Club, which offers multi styled rooms of taste and sophistication.

This lushly appointed 18th century mansion, once owned by the Eliseey family, contains a casino, a refined restaurant, cigar lounge, fitness centre and hotel all under one roof.

Dinner in the lavish dining room is an extraordinarily expensive affair, and might include Crab Bakes with Sea Scallops and Entrecote with Foie Gras.

The former private residence of merchant Stepan Eliseyev, it's a grand carpeted mansion decorated with renaissance art, exquisite antiques and touches of modern comfort. The blue- leather sofas and chairs of the main bar lounge and the designer labels of the gorgeous staff who've stepped straight off the covers of Russian Vogue capture your attention.

The Atrium cafe, near the reception with its soaring and sparkling heights, serves breakfast to guests each morning.
