Advice Best Lodgings in Moscow for Conferences?

Dear all, I'm supposed to be in Moscow at the end of June for an academic conference and I'm looking for some advice on where to stay. I’m hoping to find accommodations that are not too far from the conference venue but also have good amenities. Should I go for hotels or is there a chance of finding some cozy Airbnb spots? Any recommendations on areas to focus on or avoid would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi there! For a conference in Moscow, I'd recommend looking into hotels near the city center, as they typically offer great amenities and easy access to transport. The Arbat area is charming and vibrant, perfect for some post-conference exploration. If you're considering Airbnbs, look for options in areas like Tverskaya or near Gorky Park—they’re both convenient and have a local feel. Have you checked out any specific venues yet?
