Located next to the iconic Bayterek monument in the city's vibrant business, shopping and entertainment district, the 271-room Astana Marriott Hotel is a contemporary retreat for travellers to Astana. The hotel represents the fifth Marriott International property in Kazakhstan and is managed by an affiliate of U.S. based Interstate Hotels & Resorts. The five-star hotel features distinctive and contemporary interior design marrying neutral colours, clean lines and luxurious marble with traditional Kazakhstan artwork. The sense of place continues throughout the guestrooms with headboard designs featuring a traditional Kazakhstan motif that reflects the country's love of pattern. The bathroom artwork is of brightly coloured silks, a reference to Kazakhstan's historical links to the ancient trading Silk Route, Hospitality Net reports.
