Zargaron Plaza. The hotel is located a 10 minute-walk from the Old Town boundaries with its ancient mosques, madrasahs, shopping streets, and a 5-minute drive from the International Airport. Furthermore it is one of few hotels in Bukhara which enjoys a “4 stars” status.
Even exteriorly the hotel compares favorably with other Bukhara competitors. Already in the hall you will get a feeling that have found yourselves in an oriental shah’s palace: white arches in between the columns, painted ceilings, skillfully hammered décor elements, glittering chandeliers…
Unfortunately the rooms do not follow the oriental theme and are decorated in classic style, but what is important they meet all quality standards.
The Zargaron Plaza offers such facilities as a restaurant, conference hall, fitness center, summer café and so on. It is worth mentioning that the hotel smart bar is decorated in a Spanish style, with tables and chairs fitted with wooden wheels. It is very pleasant to sit with friends there in the evening and relax after an eventful day.
