Cabinet Lounge
Posh Coworking
Located in the very heart of the city, on
Lubyanka, just a short walk from the Kremlin,
Cabinet Lounge offers what might be called
upscale coworking. In the same building as
the popular restaurant Mandarin Combustible,
across from the new St. Regis hotel, the
inside of Cabinet Lounge looks more like a
gentleman’s club rather than your run-of-the-mill
coworking space, complete with parquet
floors and bar stands. And it is priced accordingly:
a one-day visit is 3,500 rubles ($62).

and bars. At Flacon, there are plenty of

at one of the creative spaces.
