Which visitor attractions are located near the hotel?
The area around the Orlyonok Hotel was mostly developed in the 1950s and 1960s, and has some fine examples of Stalinist neoclassical architecture. Perhaps the finest of all is the building of Moscow State University, about 600m from the hotel, which is the largest of the 'Seven Sisters', the neo-gothic Stalinist skyscrapers built in the early 1950s. It towers over the surrounding area from its perch on top of the Sparrow Hills, and the plateau in front of the university provides breathtaking views across Moscow.
A little further afield, the Donskoy Monastery dates back to the 16th century, and was one of a ring of fortified monasteries that acted as the first line of defense for Moscow in the Middle Ages. Almost completely restored to its former glories, the monastery contains several beautiful churches and a famous cemetery. |
