Moscow's major visitor attractions, including Red Square and the Kremlin, are easily and quickly accessible from the Borodino Hotel by metro. About ten minutes' walk from the hotel, Sokolniki Park is Moscow's Second Park of Leisure and Culture, laid out in the 1930s to provide a playground for weary workers on the site of a former royal hunting ground (Sokol means "falcon") and later municipal park. It is a pleasant place to stroll, and offers the varied spectacles of elderly Muscovites playing chess and ballroom dancing. The Sokolniki Exhibition Centre, which is used for several international exhibitions and trade fairs, is located in several pavilions at the far eastern end of the park.
