The adjacent 70,000+ capacity Olympiyskiy National Sports Complex, which hosted the Euro 2012 football final, is the premier sports venue in Ukraine and the second largest in Eastern Europe. In addition to hosting international football games and other prime sporting events, the stadium also organises world-class music concerts including famous artists like Madonna, George Michael, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The hotel is surrounded by the major commercial, administration, consular, retail and cultural sites of Kiev which makes it an ideal base for business and a great starting point to explore this green and attractive historical city. Kiev has been the historic cultural centre of the East Slavic civilisation; and within easy reach of the hotel are such sites as the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves) and the Saint Sophia Cathedral both recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
