Hotels for short stays in Krasnoyarsk

The center is a compact pedestrian zone on the left bank. From the Chapel of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa on Karaulnaya Hill it's only a twenty-minute walk along Mira Avenue and Karl Marx Street to Theater Square. Forty minutes will get you down to the Yenisei embankment. This is where most of the restaurants, museums, and catamaran rental points are concentrated. You'll also find the widest selection of hotels here, for every taste and budget.

Within walking distance of Mira Avenue is Novotel Krasnoyarsk Center (from 11,500 ₽ per night).

If you want to book the quietest room in the city with genuine five-star service, go with the only such option in Krasnoyarsk — Dom-Otel Solomin on Bograd Street (from 12,980 ₽ per night).

A budget option with the same access to Mira Avenue (a twenty-minute walk) is Memphis on Kachinskaya Street (from 2,300 ₽ per night).

To compare a dozen options in one area at once, open the collection «Hotels in the Center».

Vzletka is a modern neighborhood in the Sovetsky District. It grew up on the site of an old airfield. There are plenty of offices, conference venues, and shopping centers here. From here it's a quick drive out the highway to Yemelyanovo, and it's also convenient for reaching business partners — you don't have to cross through the center and over the bridges. If you're in town for a conference, negotiations, or a shift changeover, this is where to stay rather than across the river.

Good choices for a business trip:

• Hilton Garden Inn Krasnoyarsk on Molokova Street — from 7,200 ₽ per night;
• Karat Apart Aparthotel on Partizana Zheleznyaka Street — from 6,039 ₽.

The aparthotel is the choice when you need a kitchen, a washing machine, and a desk to work on your laptop.

For longer business trips and trade-show visitors, the «4 stars» collection is useful. Krasnoyarsk has more hotels in this category than any other, so there's a good chance of finding a room 30–40% cheaper than the flagship rates.

Across the Yenisei from the center stretch the Sverdlovsky and Kirovsky districts. People come here not for city strolls but to visit the Bobrovy Log Fun Park and the Krasnoyarsk Stolby National Park. In winter the cable car works as a ski lift, and in summer as a sightseeing ride up to the rocks.

The closest hotel to the fun park and the entrance to the national park, via the village of Bazaikha, is Takmak on Bazayskaya Street. Rates start at 15,925 ₽ per night. The draw isn't the sophistication — it's the fact that the lift is only a five-minute walk away.

If your flight is early or you land at night, don't bother driving the roughly 27 km into the center. Right next to the Yemelyanovo terminal is LEGENDA Aero Hotel. Rates start at 10,500 ₽ per night. You can check in at almost any hour.

For a relaxed weekend with a view of the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric dam and the pine-covered shore of the reservoir, Eco-Park Admiral in Shumikha Bay is a good pick (from 10,600 ₽). It's about an hour to Divnogorsk (~40 km) and about an hour and a half to Shumikha Bay, and you'll find yourself on the shore of the «Krasnoyarsk Sea».
