Ascott The Residence

Astana

A mesmerising blend of the old, new and traditional, Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan has been given the title of World City by UNESCO. In Kazakh, the word “Astana” literally means “capital”, while in Persian, the word bears the meaning of “holy place”. Take a tour through this emerging capital and see the contrasting architecture inspired by old world charm and new age designs.

The iconic Baiterek Tower stands at 97 metres and gives visitors a fantastic bird’s eye view of the city. A restaurant, aquarium and art gallery can be found at this landmark building. The centre of town is a dedicated entertainment hub called the Avenue of the Republic. At this locality, visitors will find a generous sprinkling of restaurants, retailers, cafes, night clubs and casinos.

The Palace of Peace and Reconciliation is a pyramid shaped structure 77 metres high, that was created to accommodate the religions Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. Illuminated at night in the different colours of the Kazakhstan flag, this beautiful structure is a shining example of the peaceful co-existence of different cultures and religions in Astana.

From the Oceanarium to museums and theatres, there is much to see and explore in Astana. Keen on its cultural influences and trade, Astana annually holds several industry related exhibitions, musical contests, conferences and festivals celebrating the Kazakh people.
