The four-star Kazzhol Hotel is a great choice if you’re looking for style, comfort and a great location in Almaty. You’ll be a 30-minute walk away from the historic Ascension Cathedral, with its psychedelic colours and golden domes. The cathedral is set in Panfilov Park, one of the city’s top attractions – named after the ‘Panfilov Heroes’, Kazakh soldiers who lost their lives during World War II. A five-minute drive will take you to the majestic Abay Opera House, where you can watch classical performances, live theatre and ballet. Almaty Central Stadium, the home ground of Kazakhstan’s national football team, is also only a 10-minute drive away.

After exploring all these fascinating sights, you can return to the peaceful oasis of Kazzhol Hotel. Take a dip in the indoor pool, relax in the sauna and unwind with a good book on one of the wooden loungers. There’s also a gym if you fancy a work out and a massage room if you’re in need of a massage after your flight.

There are 178 rooms at the hotel, all classically styled with rich shades of green and gold. Each room either has city or mountain views and a private bathroom, plus contemporary touches such as a TV, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. A hearty breakfast is served at the hotel restaurant each morning and you can try some delicious local Kazakh cuisine over dinner.
