CAO — Central
The Central Administrative Okrug (CAO) is Moscow’s business and cultural core: the Kremlin, major ministries, corporate headquarters, leading theatres and museums.
The Central Administrative Okrug is the city’s densest concentration of business and cultural activity. The Kremlin, the Bolshoi and Maly theatres, the major museums, federal ministries and the headquarters of Russia’s largest corporations are all inside CAO. Companionship bookings in CAO make up the largest single category on the site.
A typical scenario: a business dinner around Patriarch’s Ponds or Chistye Prudy, followed by a reception in one of the historical mansions on Nikitskaya or in a hotel near Teatralnaya Square. Distances are short — most of the evening unfolds on foot or with brief taxi transfers.
Companions who work in CAO are usually familiar with premium-tier restaurants (White Rabbit, Sakhalin, Twins Garden), international-brand hotels (Metropol, The Carlton, Ararat Park Hyatt) and the protocol of large corporate receptions. English at B2–C1 is a common client requirement in this district.
