As one of the biggest names in luxury accommodation, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company boasts an impressive global portfolio. With its high-end hotels gracing 26 countries, from the US to Japan, it has become synonymous with luxury around the world.

It is fitting, therefore, that The Ritz-Carlton’s latest opening is in one of Kazakhstan’s largest and most picturesque locales: Almaty. The city, located between the Bolshaya and Malaya rivers, sits on the Old Silk Road in the foothills of the impressive Trans-Ili Alatau Mountains.

The dramatic natural surroundings can be enjoyed to the full at the hotel, which sits atop the 37-storey Esentai Tower, one of the tallest buildings in Central Asia. With Big Almaty Lake and the Ile-Alatau National Park just a stone’s throw away, the 145-room resort aims to showcase Kazakhstan’s natural beauty, while accommodating an increasing number of business guests.



“We are delighted to bring The Ritz-Carlton brand to Kazakhstan. Almaty is a key gateway city for our customers and this hotel complements the portfolio of Ritz-Carlton properties around the globe beautifully,” said Herve Humler, president and chief operating officer of The Ritz-Carlton.

“Almaty is a dynamic city attracting visitors from all over the world and we are excited to be here.”

As part of the new hotel, residences are available on the upper floor, where permanent residents are invited to make the most of the resort’s amenities while enjoying the privacy and benefits of personal ownership.
