The greatest attraction in the immediate vicinity of the Holiday Inn Suschevsky is the beautiful building of the Rizhsky ("Riga") Station, across the street from the hotel. Opened in 1901 and designed by Stanislav Brzhozovsky, who was also responsible for the equally elegant Vitebsky Station in St. Petersburg, the Rizhsky Station is a masterpiece of Style Moderne architecture, combining the then-fashionable pan-European style with specifically Russian elements. Due to the low traffic through the station, there are plans afoot to transform the building into a railway museum in the next few years.
Within 1km of the Holiday Inn Moscow Suschevsky, there are three historic park: Sokolniki Park, Ekaterininsky Gardens, and the Moscow State University Botanical Gardens. Also close to the hotel is the Olympic Stadium, which was at the center of the 1980 Olympic Games, and is still used for major sporting and entertainment events.
