Hotels with Breakfast Included in Almaty

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the snow-capped Tian Shan mountains, Almaty is a city where Soviet-era architecture meets modern parks and a surprisingly cosmopolitan cafe culture.

The main draw is its incredible access to nature; you can ride the cable car up to Kok-Tobe hill for panoramic city views in the morning, then be hiking in the Ile-Alatau National Park by the afternoon.

Don't miss the Zenkov Cathedral in Panfilov Park, a colorful wooden cathedral that survived the 1911 earthquake, or the fresh produce and local honey at the Green Bazaar. For first-time visitors, staying near the city center or in the quieter, leafy neighborhoods off Dostyk Avenue offers easy access to museums, restaurants, and public transport. The city works well for both adventurous solo travelers heading to the mountains and business visitors, thanks to its efficient metro system and major conference centers. Almaty International Airport provides good regional connections, and the new Almaty Ring Road makes getting around by car much simpler. On HOTEVI, you'll find 128 places to stay in Almaty, ranging from budget-friendly hostels popular with backpackers to international business hotels and a growing number of design-focused boutique properties in the city center. Many options feature balconies or terraces with those stunning mountain views.
