Another 5* Hotel in Almaty Under Construction



Alpari TOO began construction of 9-storied luxury hotel on the corner of Kabanbai Batyr and Seifulina st. There was a big scandal with demolishing the City House of Pioneers that was on this place before. A motive to demolish it was that the old building was not resistant to the earthquakes.

Anyway here is the project, I am not really big fan of this nostalgic neo-classical architecture, on my pinion it has nothing to do with Almaty style..but we'll see, probably in real life it will be ok.
General constructor is turkish Sembol Insaat.

Opening of the hotel in Q2-2008.

Hotel probably will be managed by rapidly growing turkish chain called Rixos, which opened Rixos President Hotel in astana earlier this year.
