Lush bouquets of flowers decorating the scarf symbolize the Plaza Garden name and the hotel’s picturesque grounds. It is impossible to visualize our hotel without the famous Cockerel clock, an informal symbol that has charmed our guests for many years. Its image occupies the key spot on the scarf. The fountain that greets guests at the main entrance to the hotel and the statue of Mercury, the symbol of World Trade Center Moscow, complement the design, making it truly inimitable.
Russian Souvenir Clock
In the very heart of the hotel’s Business Building, its Atrium, stands the Russian Souvenir clock decorated with folklore motifs. A legend with almost half a century of history, the Golden Cockerel on top of the timepiece column greets everyone who comes in; three dials are placed under it, with a theater of fairytale motifs adorning the composition. The Cockerel’s plumes are covered with gold leaf—700 very thin sheets. Every hour from 12:00pm to 08:00pm, it regales us with its singing. Fun fact: The voice of a real rooster, recorded in a Ryazan village, is used for the hotel’s Cockerel.
The music for the clock was selected by the renowned composer Alexandra Pakhmutova, and the work on the outward appearance of the clock was supervised by the USSR Art Fund. The clock mechanism, which was recognized as an invention of national importance, was designed by the Clockmaking Industry Research Institute.
Among others, the uniqueness of this object was praised by Sarah Fabergé, a great-granddaughter of the famous jeweler Carl Fabergé, during her visit to World Trade Center Moscow in 2018. “I really liked the Cockerel Clock. It’s fantastic! Amazing, and very much in the Fabergé spirit!” she said.

Statue of Mercury
The fountain, with a statue of Mercury in the center, was installed in 1979 for the opening of World Trade Center Moscow. The author of the monument is the famous sculptor Vyacheslav Klykov.
The sculpture is an almost two-meter bronze figure of the god Mercury running towards the Moskva River. Mercury stands on top of a 12-meter column. In his hand he holds a caduceus, a staff that symbolizes reconciliation and, according to a legend, serves as a key to arcane knowledge.
In Ancient Rome, Mercury (called Hermes by the Greeks) was the patron of trade and an emblem of profit and good luck in business undertakings. The image of Mercury is often used as an ornament decorating buildings of stock exchanges, headquarters of banks, and offices of financial companies. Quite frequently, Mercury is also a requisite detail on the façades of business centers.
