The rooms at Almaty's most luxurious hotel are suitably sumptuous but surprisingly understated and decked out in neutral shades. The Olympic-sized swimming pool, however, is all marble and underwater lighting, there's an excellent spa on-site and the hotel's Brasserie restaurant serves refined takes on Kazakh food, as well as Pan-Asian dishes. Faultless multilingual service to boot.
