It's never too late to start traveling. And to travel around Russia, in our Motherland, and even more so. The beauty and magic of the visited city is revealed to tourists, regardless of their age, gender or social status, step by step. The ancient buildings of the architectural ensemble of the cities of our country are presented to the eyes of the seekers gradually. The Golden Ring of Russia, as a popular tourist destination, proves these accepted axioms in practice, charming both compatriots and tourists from foreign delegations. The city of Yaroslavl is a bright representative of the popular historical route. However, no matter how passionate and captured by the impressions of the day a tourist is, in the evening he will have a well-deserved rest in a hotel. Very often, guests of the former provincial city are faced with the question of where to stay for the night and make the right choice. The Park Inn Hotel in Yaroslavl kindly opens the doors to its rooms for everyone.
Old City
Yaroslavl is one of the most ancient cities, thoroughly located on the banks of the Volga River. The first stone in the foundation of the Yaroslavl Kremlin was laid by Yaroslav the Wise during his reignRostov in Holy Russia, approximately in the thousandth year of our era. According to legend, this momentous event took place on Ilyin's day, and the first church built in the city was named in honor of Elijah the Prophet. And the name itself was given by the name of its founder: Yaroslav city, or (in the possessive form of those times) Yaroslavl.
The city developed successfully. Monasteries were built here, schools and manufactories were opened, and in 1777 Yaroslavl became a major administrative center, receiving the status of a province. In Soviet times, the province was abolished, and in 1936 the Yaroslavl region was formed. For the past three years, the city has seen an influx of population, the number of inhabitants according to 2014 is six hundred two and a half thousand people.
Where to go?
It is interesting to know that with such a fairly large number of people living in the city and an endless stream of tourists from all over the world, the city is sorely lacking hotels. Apart from the Park Inn hotel, Yaroslavl could offer its guests only 36 guest houses, according to 2014 data. Some of them are private mini-hotels for several places. Tourists can also choose from a huge number of private apartments in the city, converted into apartments for several nights.
However, few property owners can offer their guests such a range of services during their tourist visit to Yaroslavl - a hotel, a park, as well as a railway station and almost the city center in close proximity to each other.
Train is more convenient
The most convenient way to get to the tourist city from Moscow is by rail. Someone will say, they say, the plane is faster. It is true that the flight itself will take much less time, but the time spent on getting to the airport in the capital and from the airport to the center of Yaroslavl negates the benefits gained from the flight. Yes, and in terms of money, such a trip will be much more expensive. “A bus,” someone else will offer, “is both inexpensive and comfortable.” Partly the right decision, but not a quick one, taking into account traffic jams and traffic difficulties along the Yaroslavl direction of the E115/M8 departure route from Moscow.
That is why, having weighed all the pros and cons, most tourists prefer the electric train to other options. With everything else, it is not so important whether you are traveling by commuter train or intercity train, in any case, you will have to go to the platform at the Yaroslavl-Glavny station. And already at the entrance to the city from the window you can see how the Park Inn hotel towers ahead.
Where and how
The main building of the hotel is both an administrative and residential building. The administration offers its guests free secure parking on site, careful and discreet room service, as well as laundry and concierge services. Near the reception, tourists can buy souvenirs with the inscription "Yaroslavl". The Park Inn Hotel began operating its own fourteen-story building a few years ago, now for guestsoffers 167 residential rooms of various categories to choose from. Stable Wi-Fi offers hotel guests to connect to the network for free. The reception staff speaks three more languages besides Russian: English, Spanish and German. Even in the capital it is difficult to find such a convenient hotel in terms of sociability, which undoubtedly is its competitive advantage and is highly appreciated by foreign tourists.
Yaroslavl hides a huge tourist potential. The Park Inn Hotel offers its customers to enjoy the beauty of the historic city, the road to which takes only ten minutes. In the evening, a show program is provided in the lobby, and the bar, open most of the night, will not let guests of any gender and age get bored. For younger visitors to the hotel, the bar provides a children's drink card. Children under the age of twelve can stay free of charge in the room using existing beds. Baby cots are available for children under two years of age. Disco lovers can visit the nightclub located next to the Park Inn by Radisson hotel. Yaroslavl is rich in such types of entertainment.
Brand story
Many guests will probably be interested in the question why there is a remark “By Radisson” in the name of the hotel. What is it, what does the Park Inn hotel have to do with it? In fact, everything is simple. The answer lies in the history of brand development. The name of the hotel is translated from English as "Park Inn by Radisson". This proprietary name is a trademark of the corporation. None of the guest houseslegal right to copy it. This is punishable by law, as this brand belongs to the world-famous international hotel chain SAS Radisson. Yaroslavl seemed attractive from the point of view of doing business for the management of the corporation. Not the last factor in the decision was the fact that in a city with such a strong tourist potential, there are so surprisingly few hotels.
The Radisson brand was founded in 1909 and named after the French explorer Pierre-Esprit Radisson. The first hotel of the global network was opened in Minneapolis, in the United States of America, where the company's headquarters are now located. In 1962, Kurt Carlson bought it and included it in his Carlson Campaigns network. To date, Radisson has 451 hotels in 73 countries, 359 of which are located in the United States. Amazing numbers!
Park Inn
In 2000, the Carlson chain buys the Park Inn hotel chain from the Olympus company, including the Park Plaza hotels. Two years later, the company's management signs a master franchise with the Rezidor Hotel Group network. The main point of cooperation is the global development of the Park Inn brand in Africa, the Middle East and, of course, Europe. Another seven hotels purchased from the Event Hotels chain are brought under the brand in 2005.
All these steps together give an amazing result. Fourteen years after its founding, 140 hotels around the world are operating under the Park Inn by Reddison label. To the list of cities wherebrand, also includes Yaroslavl. The Park Inn Hotel does not need advertising due to its quality service and sincere approach. The mission of the company is to overcome all obstacles in its path and to use all the opportunities encountered along the same path. This concept was called “Yes, ai ken,” which means “Yes, I can.”
Weather at home
The hotel chain's rooms are distinguished by the unity of style. All rooms are decorated in bright colors and cheer up from the very morning. If this is a separate building (and not built into urban development, such as, for example, a hotel in the city of St. Petersburg on the square near the Moscow railway station), then, as a rule, it is surrounded by a park. The hotel in Yaroslavl was no exception to this rule. It is especially pleasant on a sunny summer morning to open the window wide open and enjoy the fresh, slightly spicy aroma of a little cool air that has not yet had time to warm up in the rays of the rising sun. The central air conditioning system is equipped with an intelligent climate control system in each room. There is no need in the winter period of the year to first set up the heating radiator with a thermostatic valve, and then the supply air closer itself in the room. You simply enter the desired temperature in the room through the controller interface, and the automation itself regulates the joint operation of all systems. Technological progress did not bypass Yaroslavl either. The Park Inn Hotel offers its customers innovative solutions that improve the comfort and time in the complex in many of its guest houses.
Close to the center
Good-natured hotel staff is always ready to provide you with all possible assistance in resolving any issues. Warm-hearted and responsive receptionists are ready to offer their customers any support, prompt or share advice, as well as inform about additional paid services, such as unlimited Internet access from several mobile devices at the same time, connection of paid channels or food delivery to the room. They will give you tips on places of interest and guide you to tourist destinations. A wonderful park, a hotel, Yaroslavl, a photo for memory, long romantic evenings in a cozy tiny cafe in the city center or leisurely walks along the chic embankment of the Volga River - what else does a tourist need to be completely happy?
Route taxis, city buses and trolleybuses depart every few minutes from the Yaroslavl-Glavny station to the city center. In a few minutes they will take you to the center from the Park Inn Hotel. Yaroslavl is rich in historical monuments. You can talk about architectural monuments here for hours. No wonder the city center was recently included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Vast squares, landscaped streets, low-rise buildings in the central historical quarters. The industrial revolution did not affect Yaroslavl much, and in the twentieth century, when the metropolis was expanded and built up in sleeping areas, its special status of historical heritage was taken into account and high-rise buildings were not erected in the buffer zone, in order to avoid their obvious dissonance withhistorical buildings. As a result, the height of buildings in the central part of the city does not exceed fourteen to seventeen meters.
Dinner in Old Bavaria
No matter how long you stay in the center and no matter how much time you spend there, returning to the hotel will not be difficult. This is what Yaroslavl is famous for. The Park Inn Hotel can be found here always and at any time of the day or night. You just need to look at the sign or find out from the driver or passing passengers whether the bus passes the railway station. If followed by an affirmative answer - you are here, this is your transport. From the station to the hotel only five hundred meters, its fourteen-story building is perfectly visible from afar.
In the evening in the main hall of the hotel you will find a surprise in the form of the German restaurant Paulaner. Here guests can enjoy fresh and unique dishes from the southern lands of the Bundes Republic. Everything around is saturated with the atmosphere of old Munich. The famous mashed potato soup, mouth-watering Eisban pork knuckle, fried meat sausages, crispy German salad - the list of goodies can be continued indefinitely, but this charm cannot be conveyed. To fully immerse yourself in it and enjoy a cozy restaurant, you need to visit it personally. It opens its doors to visitors from noon and is open until one in the morning. In the morning, from seven in the morning until eleven, breakfast is served on its territory for guests. By prior arrangement with the administration in the restaurant, you can order various events, such as weddings, corporate evenings,birth.
Chic German beer with a delicate foam, except in the restaurant, you can also order in the lobby bar. It is open until the last customer and offers its visitors a wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Issue price
A standard hotel room will cost the traveler 4250 rubles per night. Periodically, the hotel has special offers for accommodation, so the most budget option is the opportunity to get at a price of about three thousand rubles per room. Not bad for a hotel of this class! Superior rooms differ from standard rooms by the presence of a refrigerator, coffee machine and mini-bar. For a night spent in such a room, the hotel administration will demand about 5,000 rubles from the traveler for a room for one or a little higher than this figure in the season. Well, the most expensive rooms in a hotel with a living area twice as large as the previous categories (48 square meters versus 24) will cost tourists 7,250 rubles per room and more.
