Morgans Hotel Group (MHG) is to further expand its signature luxury brand Delano after securing agreement with Capital Group for a new branded property in Moscow, Russia.

The 160-bedroom Delano Moscow is due to open in 2015 and will join other new launches including Delano Marrakech (September 2012) and Delano Cesme (2015).

Delano is to operate the property - part of Capital Group's OKO scheme - under a 20-year management agreement between the Russian development company and MHG.

US-based SOM are behind the design of the complex, which will sit within Moscow City - a mixed-use destination first conceived by the country's government in 1992.

Delano Moscow will include fine dining and nightlife outlets and "top-of-the-line" visitor amenities, although further details are yet to be confirmed.

MHG CEO Michael Gross said: "Moscow is an exciting city and we could not have found a better partner to align with than Capital Group to further extend the Delano brand."

Vladislav Doronin, chair of Capital Group's board of directors, added: "It is obvious that Moscow City needs high-quality hotel service, and Delano Moscow will become the first hotel to open here."
