Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Astana
The Ritz-Carlton Astana · Esil districtFor this guide we have gathered the best hotels in Astana: two 5-star hotels, from 230 euros a night.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
Two luxury hotels in Astana – and how to choose
The two luxury hotels in Astana cost 230 € and 255 € a night – only 25 euros apart, both stand in the Esil district, and both bring the same benefit package.
The St. Regis Astana · Esil districtAt both hotels the suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
What separates the two sits in the view designation.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
View designations are normally generic: city view, river view, sea view. They tell you which direction the room faces.
Among the 59 categories at this destination there is exactly one that does it differently. It is called Baiterek View – named after the observation tower in the centre of the city.
That is not a detail but a statement: Astana is a capital planned on the drawing board, and the Baiterek stands precisely on its central axis. A category that names it does not promise „city, somehow“ but this one specific structure.
At The Ritz-Carlton Astana from 255 € another twelve categories face the city in general – so the one is the exception, not the rule.
Our advice: ask us about it explicitly. There is one of it, and anyone who wants it should not try to book it through the general „city view“ category.
Where to stay in Astana: both in the Esil district
Both of the best hotels in Astana stand in the Esil district, the planned part of the city on the left bank.
The Ritz-Carlton Astana from 255 € offers 28 categories; twelve of them face the city – and one bears the name of the Baiterek. Our recommendation for anyone who wants the capital’s axis in view.
The St. Regis Astana from 230 € offers 31 categories; from ten of them you look out over the river. Our recommendation for anyone who prefers a quieter morning.
Because both stand in the same district, only the direction of the view really decides here – our travel advisors work the routes out for your particular occasion.
59 categories: the best hotels in Astana from the inside
Together the best hotels in Astana offer 59 categories – 31 at The St. Regis Astana and 28 at The Ritz-Carlton Astana.
That is one of the most even distributions in this guide: neither hotel has the noticeably longer list, and both cost almost the same.

What a night at a luxury hotel in Astana costs
A night at a 5-star hotel in Astana costs 230 € or 255 €.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |

How long to stay: three nights. Astana is a planned city: you walk its central axis in a day, because everything of consequence is lined up along it. The second day belongs to what lies beside the axis – and you need a third because the weather on the steppe has plans of its own.
At both hotels the suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
When it is at its best: from May to September, when the days are long and warm and the axis can be walked. Our recommendation for a first visit.
From December to February Astana shows itself as one of the coldest capitals in the world – an experience you can hardly have anywhere else. Our recommendation for anyone who comes for exactly that.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.
