Luxury Hotels in Krasnaya Polyana

Think of Krasnaya Polyana as Russia’s premier mountain resort, a place where the drama of the Caucasus peaks meets Olympic-grade infrastructure. This is the country’s top destination for alpine skiing and snowboarding, with the interconnected Rosa Khutor, Gorki Gorod, and Gazprom resorts offering over 100 kilometers of groomed slopes. In summer, the cable cars keep running, giving hikers and mountain bikers access to the pristine trails of the Western Caucasus UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The compact, pedestrian-friendly village center, with its chalet-style architecture and lively après-ski scene, feels a world away from the coastal heat of nearby Sochi.

The resort is ideal for active travelers and families seeking a complete mountain holiday, with everything from ski schools to spa complexes on hand. Most visitors stay in the core areas of Rosa Khutor or Gorki Gorod for direct slope access, though quieter options exist in the surrounding polyana, or valley. Getting here is straightforward via a scenic one-hour train or taxi ride from Sochi International Airport, which has strong connections to major Russian and some European cities.

Accommodation here is dominated by modern, full-service hotels and apartment complexes designed for convenience. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the slope-side Radisson Rosa Khutor, the family-friendly Gorki Grand Hotel, the comfortable Mercure Rosa Khutor, the value-conscious Apart-Hotel Gornaya Karusel, and the sophisticated Hotel Tulip Inn Rosa Khutor.
