While the Maxima Irbis Hotel is not close to Moscow's major downtown attractions, it is in a pleasantly leafy area of the city, and there are several sights worth exploring in close proximity to the hotel.
Just a few minutes' walk from the Maxima Irbis start the Russian Academy of Sciences Main Botanical Gardens, with over 2,500 species of flora in 360-hectares of parkland, including a celebrated Orangery and Japanese Rock Garden.
Also close to the Maxima Irbis is the All-Russia Exhibition Center (VVTs/VDNKh), once home to the All-Union Exhibition of Economic Achievements. It is well worth visiting to see the rows of Stalinist pavilions, monumental sculpture, and anarchic atmosphere of the market that now occupies the site.
