There are a number of major attractions in the area surrounding the Korston Moscow. Just a few hundred meters from the hotel begin the Sparrow Hills, one of the highest points in Moscow and the site of the main campus of Moscow State University, the largest of the Seven Sisters - the Moscow's monumentally impressive Stalinist Neo-Gothic skyscrapers.
It is also possible to walk from the hotel to the Luzhniki Stadium, a venue for concerts and festivals as well as major football matches. The complex also contains a myriad of sports facilities open to the public including a moderately interesting Museum of Sport.
A further five minutes on foot brings you to the Novodevichy Convent, founded in 1524. It contains numerous buildings of interest, including the stunning 16th-century Cathedral of Our Lady of Smolensk and the impressive 72-meter Bell-tower. The cemetery next to the convent holds the tombs of numerous prominent figures including Chekhov, Bulgakov, Gogol, Stanislavsky, Eisenstein, Prokofiev, and Khrushchev.
