Green Hall Hotel Esto Sadok

Cozy three-star hotel Green Hall in the ski resort Krasnaya Polyana. The hotel pleases visitors with hospitality, spacious rooms and of course mountain views. But first things first.

Location and history

The location of the Green Hall Hotel (translated as “green pavilion”) fully justifies its name. It is located away from the roadway at the foot of the mountains, drowning in the greenery of coniferous trees. The outskirts of the village, forest, silence, birdsong, proximity to the ski slopes and walking distance to the main infrastructure. What else do you need for a good rest? It was the harmony of nature that inspired the creators to implement this hotel project. Mountain air, the aroma of coniferous forest, its own closed area – all this is suitable for those who are looking for a comfortable and quiet place to relax at the resort.

The all-season resort area krasnaya Polyana annually attracts a huge number of fans of winter sports and outdoor recreation. The advantageous location of the hotel “Green Hall” will especially appeal to fans of skiing and entertainment, because it is located in the village of Esto-Sadok,which is located two kilometers closer to the village of Krasnaya Polyana to the foot of the ski slopes. And the hotel itself was built right at the foot of the mountains, so you can walk to the lift “Mountain Carousel” in just 10 minutes on foot or use a free shuttle to any of the three ski resorts: “Mountain Carousel”, “Rosa Khutor” or “Gazprom”.

Inna, Moscow “The hotel is quite new. Very friendly receptionist. Everywhere is clean. Our family room was just huge! I had never seen a room of this size before, it was probably 50 meters. Very good shoe dryer, even better than in some European countries. The hotel and surrounding area are quiet. Everywhere there are filters for water, and there are also coolers on each floor. There are breakfasts, but if desired, you can refuse them and reduce the cost of the room. We left late, but no one kicked us out of the room. In general, the attitude of the staff is extremely friendly.”

Excursions and attractions

The village of Esto-Sadok is small. But here lovers of excursions will find something to see. First of all, you can go to the house-museum of Anton-Hansen Tammasaare. The museum occupies a large house of the early twentieth world In this house lived and worked a classic of Estonian literature, in whose honor the museum got its name. Two expositions will be offered to your attention. The first includes antique interiors, household items and crafts, books, utensils, photographs and musical instruments. The second is an art exhibition where you can admire the mountain landscapes and views of old Tallinn.

Esto-Saduk is only 150 years old, but this does not mean that there are no earlier buildings preserved here. It is here that you can see the largest archaeological site in the area of the Krasnaya Polyana resort – the remains of the Achipse fortress. Since the VII century. the fortress repelled more than one onslaught of enemies. At that time, the outpost had high thick walls and watch towers with loopholes. The ruins preserved memories of the gold of the Scythians, and of the raids of the Cimmerians, and even of the clashes of pagans with Christians. Since then, many years have passed, the towers have collapsed, but in some places the remains of the fortress gates, gaps reminiscent of hot battles, as well as the foundation, door openings and particles of masonry made of stone and brick have been preserved.

Esto-Sadok Bridge will appeal to those who love everything modern and unusual. The bridge was built with the latest technology. Even if you are not a fan of modern architecture, still visit this romantic place. The bridge is equipped with lighting, and in the evening the water begins to shimmer with multi-colored lights. Do not forget to make a wish on the bridge, and it will come true.

Take a walk along the old Estonian road, which starts just after Esto-Sadok at the foot of the mountains and stretches to the village of Krasnaya Polyana. Walking on it is pleasant at any time of the year. The route is quite simple. Joggers will appreciate the good pavement of the road, and those who prefer a leisurely walk will be able to fully enjoy the magnificent panorama opening at the “Mountain Carousel” and the Esto-Sadka station. Against the background of waterfalls, you can take beautiful photos.
