There are numerous boutique hotels located in old buildings, restored mansions, or architectural landmarks that

reflect the diverse artistic and cultural heritage of Russia. Outsourced splendour and classic workmanship,

or contemporary renovations to preserve the historic ambience, these hotels can be little museums of local design.

Inside, it may be adorned with craft furniture, house fabrics, and in-store artworks, depending on the culture of the area,

which will allow the guest to gain knowledge of the Russian history and crafts themselves. Being there is in itself an aesthetic

experience, but you also learn about the cultural development of the land, the elements of the old-world and the new

facilities that have been integrated to make the area surrounding you decadent and historic at the same time.

The actual construction is made the portion of the story in such a way that the guests might have the story of Russia in other than sight-seeing manner.

Boutique hotels often go beyond just a room

Other properties could organize workshops, city or cultural events with local crafts, music or literature,

and provide an opportunity to interact with local people. Breakfasts and dinners could include meals like stroganina,

pirozhki or classic Russian teas, made using the local and fresh ingredients. These experiences make the stay

incredibly immersive and make the hotel itself a cultural destination rather than just a place to sleep. Tourists,

who stay at the boutique hotels, take home not only the memory of their cozy stay, but also a clearer understanding

of the Russian traditions and artistic heritage, and everyday life in the sunny atmosphere of a small well-managed hotel.

It creates the impression of historicity and continuity of culture and since the travelers will be staying in such accommodation, it will not only be a good stay but also a more enriching experience.

Farm Guesthouses and Country Resorts.

To Live the Real Russian Way.

Outside the active cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, the rural areas in Russia provide an entirely different

hospitality experience that throws the traveler into the lifestyle, culture and customs of the locals.

Comfortable guesthouses, country inns, or homestays do much more than offer a place to sleep–they are

gateways to the true Russian way of life. It is common to find homemade meals made using fresh local

ingredients, representing local cuisine traditions which are rarely observed in city restaurants. Whether

it is hearty soups and stews, or baked goods and preserves, these meals allow the traveler to savor the tastes

of the land, as well as foster a bond with hosts that are not only willing to offer a peep into their lifestyle but

are also eager to share it with their guests. Some of the items that could be used to demonstrate the artistic

heritage of the region include the carved furniture, handwoven textiles and decorative patterns applied in

wooden cabins, log houses or village style inns. The country houses are often built to display old Russian

style decoration, architecture and craftsmanship. The rural accommodations are the option of the tourist who

is interested in the adventure and wishes to be related somehow to the local life because of the practical,

welcoming and real character of the rural accommodations in Russia. The other details of the design that the

guests might be interested in are the grandiose chandeliers, mosaic ornaments or sculptures, which can remind

the guests about the beauty of the epoch and be interesting and beautiful to look at. Visitors can also get a

chance to engage in local traditions, holiday events, or workshops. Such cultural submergence makes a visit

to Russia a more interesting and enjoyable experience that links the visitor to Russian culture and gives him a level of insight that is largely lacking in contemporary urban hotels.
