They’re Obama family is staying at the Ritz-Carlton near Red Square, which opened in Russia’s capital two years ago this week and isn’t accepting reservations for July 5-8, according to USA TODAY’s The Oval. The hotel even installed an over-sized, chocolate statue of an American Eagle and a Russian Bear in honor of the visit. They’re likely staying in what the hotel calls the largest presidential suite in Moscow at 2,550 square feet that has a rack rate of around $13,000 a night.
