— Astana, Kazakhstan —
The Ritz Carlton Astana
An Insider's Take
'This ultra-luxe sanctuary sits in the heart of Kazakhstan's futuristic capital, where Soviet history meets space-age architecture in the world's second-coldest national capital.'
What's Special?
The Ritz-Carlton Astana is perfectly positioned to witness the city's architectural marvels, including the iconic Bayterek Tower - a 97-meter golden sphere symbolizing a mythical tree of life. The hotel offers front-row seats to one of the world's most ambitious urban planning projects, where temperatures can plummet to -40°F in winter yet the city pulses with modern energy.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Visit during the brief but spectacular summer months (June-August) when temperatures soar to a comfortable 75°F and the city comes alive with outdoor festivals and extended daylight hours.
Don't Miss
Take the elevator up Bayterek Tower at sunset for panoramic views of the Ishim River and place your hand in the golden handprint of Kazakhstan's first president. The nearby Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center - the world's largest tent - houses a beach resort complete with sand imported from the Maldives, creating a surreal tropical oasis in the Kazakh steppe.
