HOME SLAVYANKA HOTELLOCATIONS AND DIRECTIONS |

Nearest metro: Novoslobodskaya, Tsvetnoy bulvar
The Slavyanka Hotel has a convenient location just north of the Garden Ring, Moscow's inner ring-road, around 3 kilometers north of the Kremlin and Red Square. The hotel is owned and managed by the Ministry of Defense, and the area around the hotel is historically linked with the Russian Armed Forces, with several connected landmarks and sights.
The Slavyanka is within walking distance of three metro stations – Novoslobodskaya, Prospekt Mira, and Tsvetnoi Bulvar. Novoslobodskaya, a transit station between the brown circle line and the gray line, is the closest, just over ten minutes' walk away. Quicker still is to get a bus or minibus service from outside the hotel to Tsvetnoi Bulvar. Journey time to Borovitskaya Station, right next to the Kremlin, is only ten minutes.
The closest mainline station to the hotel is Belorusskiy Station, about ten minutes' drive away. Moscow's most popular stations – Leningradskiy, Kazanskiy, and Yaroslavskiy – are about 2.5km from the hotel, and can be reached by taxi in 15-20 minutes. The Slavyanka is also conveniently located for the fast rail link to Sheremetyevo International Airport, which runs from Savelovskiy Station, under ten minutes' drive away.
Sheremetyevo is situated 33km from the Slavyanka, and it can take up to an hour to reach by taxi, depending on traffic. The drive to Vnukovo Airport is about the same. Domodedovo Airport is to the south-east of Moscow, about 48km from the Slavyanka, and guests should allow at least 90 minutes for the journey by taxi, particularly at peak times. |
 | Local sightseeing |
While the Slavyanka Hotel is just outside the historic center of Moscow, and hence a little distance from the city's major visitor attractions, there are several unusual and appealing sights in the immediate vicinity that are worth investigating.
The large and imposing Central Armed Forces Museum, just a couple of minutes' from the Slavyanka, is a must for anyone with an interest in Soviet history, with particularly dramatic displays on the Second World War, including a stirring display on the defeat of Berlin, with swathes of captured Nazi standards and excellent photographic records. Outside, the museum has a huge collection of obsolete military hardware that's bound to appeal to children and war buffs alike.
The Theater of the Russian Army, which is directly opposite the Slavyanka, is a fine example of Stalinist neoclassicism. It hosts concerts and military displays, as well as a constant repertoire of drama and comedy, mostly in a fairly traditional vein.
More likely to be of appeal to non-Russian speakers, especially those with children, is the charming and historic Durov Animal Theater which has been delighting Muscovite children since 1912 with its inventive and humane animal shows.
The area just to the east of the Slavyanka was the main site of the Olympic Village for the Moscow Games in 1980. The impressive modernist Olympic Sports Stadium accommodates a football ground, skating rink or athletics track depending upon the event, and the adjacent buildings contain a gymnasium and an Olympic-sized pool. Nestled next to the stadium and recognizable only by a few Islamic crescents, is one of Moscow's few mosques. |
