The luxurious new 175-room Marriott is changing the face of the city in readiness for a 2014 opening. 

A 175-room Marriott hotel is to open on a landmark site in Novosibirsk, while Irtuksk is set to get both a Kempinski and a Hyatt. 

The largest in the city, and also the tallest (Soviet-looking) building. Handy for the railway station, which is just a minute walk across the square. 

Hotel's 430 rooms on 23 floors vary from 'luxury suites' to standard accommodation, making a traditional bolt hole for those wanting a break from rail trips across Russia, but many more too. 

As the hotel boasts, regular guests ‘are top managers of leading Russian and foreign companies, celebrities, famous actors and actresses and outstanding sportsmen. High operational standards and professional staff are the best recommendation for the hotel’. 

Siberia's hotel revolution is growing apace with work underway on a top of the range property. 

Sculptor Dashi Namdakov pays homage to extinct woolly giant in innovative design aimed at becoming Buryatia's 'brand'.

A great new addition to the Novosibirsk hotel scene, especially for business travellers, as well as for tourists doing the Trans-Siberian in style, who fancy being pampered on a four star stopover. 

The level of comfort is world standard and should ensure Western visitors thoroughly enjoy their Siberian exile!

Located in a quiet corner of the city centre, the hotel offers a good a la carte restaurant, called ‘Paris’, a bar and 24 hour room service. 

So far the only hotel in Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk's educational and scientific satellite community. Its name in Russian is 'Zolotaya Dolina', with locals quite often referring to it as 'ZD'. 

The Golden Valley is ideally located for more than 20 research institutes and the House of Scientists which are all in walking distance. Ob sea beach on the bank of the reservoir filled in 1959 is also just a walk away through some stunningly beautiful pine and birth tree forests. 

Unpretentious, The Golden Valley hotel offers ‘an excellent possibility for inexpensive but comfortable shelter for travellers’.
