Hotel’s Astana, Kazakhstan location in the centre of fabulous attractions
Kazakhstan, to the south of Russia, stretches from the eastern edge of Europe almost to Mongolia. Its capital Astana, formerly known as Aqmola, existed as a remote outpost of the Russian and then Soviet empires before being chosen by President Nursultan Nazarbayev to receive billions of dollars in new development. Guests of this new hotel’s Astana, Kazakhstan location enjoy an ideal base for exploring the city’s striking attractions, many designed by prize-winning British architect Norman Foster.
