The City of Novokuznetsk/Russia

Novokuznetsk was founded in 1618, and in the past centuries
has experienced an eventful history. The city first gained importance 120 years ago when the first mineral resources were found in the Kuzbass Area.

During the time when Stalin was in power, the city was populated
and consistently industrialized and expanded to this day
into a leading mining centre in the middle of Siberia.

Approximately 600,000 people live in Novokuznetsk today. The city has its own airport and can be reached daily from Moscow by Siberian Airlines. The largest hotel in the centre is the Novokuznetskaya, which is currently being modernized.

Renovation work has just been completed, in order to offer all guests a comfortable stay with a better standard.
