Hotel Complex "AZIMUT"

AZIMUT Hotel Yaroslavl is a modern 4* hotel complex located in the historical, cultural and business center of Yaroslavl.

Yaroslavl is one of the oldest Russian cities, founded in the 11th century and reaching its peak in the 17th century; in 2010, the city celebrated its millennium. City Day in Yaroslavl is usually celebrated on the last Saturday of May (in 2010, in connection with the city's millennium, the celebration was held from September 10 to 12). Yaroslavl is only three to four hours' drive from Moscow.
The city is included in the famous tourist route "Golden Ring of Russia". The historical center of the city is located at the confluence of the Volga and Kotorosl rivers: here you can find examples of all the main trends of Russian architecture from the fourteenth to the twentieth century. Numerous medieval churches and monasteries of Yaroslavl are included in the list of the UNESCO.

Judging by the date of the first mention in the chronicle, Yaroslavl is the oldest of the existing cities on the Volga. It was founded by Prince Yaroslav the Wise during his reign in Rostov (988-1010) on a cape above the Strelka on the site of or near the pagan settlement of Medvezhy Ugol. The Yaroslavl Kremlin was built on a site naturally protected on three sides (by the steep high banks of the Volga and Kotorosl and the Medveditsky ravine, along which a stream flowed). The first mention of Yaroslavl - the "uprising of the soothsayers" in the Rostov land caused by famine - dates back to 1071. The name of the city is traditionally associated with the name of its founder: "Yaroslavl" is a possessive form meaning "Yaroslav's city".
