The Maxima Zarya Hotel is some distance from Moscow's major downtown attractions. However, it is situated in a pleasantly leafy area of the city, and there are several sights worth exploring reasonably close to the hotel.
Only 300 meters from the hotel are the Russian Academy of Sciences' Main Botanical Gardens. Covering 360 hectares of parkland, these historic gardens contain over 2,500 species of flora, including a celebrated Orangery and Japanese Rock Garden.
A 20-minute walk through the Botanical Gardens will bring you to the All-Russia Exhibition Center (VVTs/VDNKh), once home to the All-Union Exhibition of Economic Achievements. One of the most evocative sights in Moscow from the Soviet era, it is well worth visiting to see the rows of pavilions in a variety of ornate architectural styles, monumental sculpture including Vera Mukhina's seminal Worker and Collective-farm girl, and unique attractions such as the Cosmonautics Museum.
