Luxury hotel brand The Ritz-Carlton opened the doors of its first hotel in the capital of Kazakhstan.

Located in the Talan Tower, The Ritz-Carlton, Astana joins an elite business center and luxury shopping gallery to create the city’s first high-end, mixed-use complex. The hotel’s unique design complements the nearby Bayterek Tower, a monument and symbol of modern Astana.

The Ritz-Carlton, Astana features 157 guestrooms, including 32 suites and 27 residences, all with panoramic city views and spacious layouts. A Club Lounge on the 14th floor provides an additional sanctuary, private check-in, dedicated Club concierge and culinary presentations throughout the day.

“Much like the monument it overlooks, The Ritz-Carlton, Astana represents the future of Astana and acknowledges the city’s growing power and prominence,” said Hervé Humler, president and CEO, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. “By bringing The Ritz-Carlton’s legacy of service together with Kazakhstan’s traditional culture of hospitality, our guests will feel truly at home in this city as they experience all that Astana has to offer as it comes into its own.”

The hotel also offers three restaurants, a modern spa and ample meeting and event space.
