Book a hotel in Ekaterinburg

The city's main tourist axis runs along the Iset River embankment and ties together Plotinka, the Yeltsin Center, and the Church on the Blood. Two blocks away lies the pedestrian Vainera Street. If you'd rather cover everything on foot without getting stuck in traffic, look for a hotel within a couple of kilometers of Plotinka. The area has options for every budget — prices start at 6,500 ₽ per night at three-star hotels and climb to 12,000 ₽ and above at five-star properties.

• TENET — a three-star hotel at 1A Khokhryakova Street. Close to Plotinka, just 100 meters from the embankment. From 6,500 ₽ per night.
• Chekhov — a four-star hotel at 32 8 Marta Street. Just 500 meters from the Historical Square. Rates start at 7,950 ₽ per night.
• Atrium Palace Hotel — a five-star congress hotel at 44 Kuibysheva Street. A good fit for business receptions and presentations. From 11,088 ₽.

Koltsovo ranks among Russia's ten largest airports and sits just 16 kilometers from the city center. Next to the terminal stands the Yekaterinburg-Expo exhibition complex, where the Innoprom industrial exhibition is held every summer.

If you have an early flight, an overnight layover, or you're attending the exhibition as a delegate, it's better to spend the night near the airport. That way you won't have to drag a suitcase through morning traffic into the center.

• Ramada By Wyndham Yekaterinburg Hotel & Spa — a five-star hotel with a spa center, 11 kilometers from Koltsovo. A good fit for Innoprom delegates and groups traveling together. From 8,500 ₽.
• A-Hotel Liner Aeroport Yekaterinburg — a three-star hotel right by the terminal, on Bakhchivandzhi Square. The check-in counter is a five-minute walk away. From 4,250 ₽.

If you're in town for 5–14 days on business, it's more economical to rent an apart-hotel with a kitchen and washing machine. That saves you 1,500–2,500 ₽ a day on restaurant meals, and dirty clothes won't pile up in your suitcase. If you're only staying one or two nights and don't need to be in the center, look for budget accommodation near the train station, in Elmash, or in the residential outskirts. You can reach Plotinka by metro in 10–15 minutes.

• Freedom Apart Hotel — three-star apartments at 21V Komvuzovskaya Street, near Sibirsky Trakt. Well suited for long business trips to the UMMC and Sima-land offices. From 4,300 ₽ per night.
• Vpechatleniya — a hostel at 49 Lenin Avenue. The cheapest way to spend the night in the center: from 1,700 ₽.
• Yug — a two-star hotel at 41 Strelochnikov Street. A three-minute walk from the railway station. From 2,500 ₽.
