Location and history
The hotel is located near the sea, just 500 meters, surrounded by a beautiful park. On a hill and breathe easier, and the air is healer. The complex has a number of advantages, thanks to which it is chosen among many similar options. These include:
- a large closed area, which has its own resort infrastructure;
- the opportunity to walk to the main Crimean attractions – the Vorontsov Palace, the lower station of the cable car on Ai-Petri, to the Swallow’s Nest and the Livadia Palace regularly runs public transport;
- in the vicinity there is a Miskhor polyclinic, which provides medical services to all holidaymakers vacationing in the village.
Mount Ai-Petri, as a background, shades the hotel, making it even more airy and attractive for home photo shoots. The building was built in 2007, renovated in 2010. During the reconstruction, all the requirements of vacationers were taken into account, the living space was increased, a bathroom was installed in all rooms, additional recreation areas were created.
“This is a great place to spend a vacation in the Crimea, no matter what time of year. The main advantage of the hotel “1001 nights” in its location. From here you can go hiking to the Vorontsov Palace or climb Ai-Petri to the observation deck. The management is actively working on the organization of excursions to all corners of the Crimea, including visits to wine cellars. The beach was not very liked, although for the southern part of the coast, narrow pebble strips of land are a common story. There are no wide beaches that meet the needs of all vacationers. But the water is clean, the bottom is rocky, there are small islands to which you can swim on your own” Anatoly, Russia

“Healing air and clean sea have become the main priorities when choosing Gaspra as a place of rest. I checked into the 1001 Nights Hotel (which I didn’t regret at all) and went to explore the local beaches. All of them are narrow and rocky, but this is not annoying. The water is clean, there are no viruses in it. A steep descent leads to each of them. The only place where the ramp for strollers was thought out was the beach of the sanatorium “Belarus”, where the administrator first recommended to go. Therefore, I recommend using the advice and relaxing there” Svetlana.
