Garden of culture and rest. ST Aksakov, Ufa, Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia
Ufa is a modern and dynamically developing capital and one of the largest economic and cultural centers in Russia. Sheraton Ufa Hotel is located in the business and historical section of the city, only twenty minutes from the international airport.
If you’re just traveling or on a business trip, you will find everything you need within walking distance of the hotel: company offices, business centers, local sights, parks, and restaurants.
Fans of active holidays will appreciate the presence of several beautiful parks in the five-minute walk from the hotel, ideal for jogging or cycling.
Ufa is the capital of the autonomous republic of Bashkortostan, home of the Bashkirs, a Muslim Turkic people who dominated most of the southern Ural Mountains before Russian colonisation. Although they’re only a third of the republic’s population, you can hear their lispy language spoken on the streets of Ufa, in rural areas and on the radio. Substantial hydrocarbon reserves have turned Bashkortostan into something of an oil khanate.
