Rixos President Astana

On Kunayeva Street, minutes from Bayterek Tower, a five-star address built around dining, wellness, business and family — the full breadth of modern Kazakh hospitality.

In Kazakhstan’s rapidly evolving capital, where futuristic architecture meets wide boulevards and cultural landmarks, Rixos President Astana stands as a distinguished address for luxury hospitality. Positioned on Kunayeva Street in the city’s administrative and business centre, the five-star property combines sophisticated accommodation, destination dining, wellness experiences and flexible event facilities. Its proximity to the iconic Bayterek Tower also places guests close to some of Astana’s most recognisable attractions. The hotel caters to a diverse clientele, from international business travellers and diplomatic visitors to families and leisure guests seeking an elevated stay in the capital. Its appeal lies not only in its luxury interiors but also in its ability to bring accommodation, gastronomy, wellness and celebrations together under one roof.

Fettah Tamince The Founder Behind Rixos

The story of Rixos begins with Fettah Tamince, who established Rixos Hotels in Turkey in 2000. His ambition was to redefine the traditional all-inclusive holiday by creating a more sophisticated luxury proposition. The brand developed the “All Inclusive – All Exclusive” concept, combining extensive hospitality services with high-end accommodation, entertainment, dining and guest experiences. Tamince continues to serve as Chairman of Rixos. His entrepreneurial approach has been central to the brand’s international development, while the partnership with Accor has helped accelerate Rixos’s presence in the global hospitality market. Accor entered a joint venture with Tamince in 2016 to develop the all- inclusive segment, strengthening the brand’s international platform.

An Address at the Heart of Astana

Location is one of Rixos President Astana’s strongest advantages. The property sits at Kunayeva 7, close to Bayterek Tower and within Astana’s modern administrative and business district. For business travellers, the setting provides convenient access to government offices, corporate destinations and the city’s contemporary urban centre. For leisure visitors, the surrounding area provides an introduction to Astana’s distinctive architectural character, with monumental buildings, public spaces and cultural attractions forming part of the city experience. The hotel therefore functions as more than a place to sleep; it becomes a comfortable base from which to explore one of Central Asia’s most modern capitals.

“Rather than focusing exclusively on luxury rooms, the property creates an integrated experience built around dining, wellness, business and family.”

Rooms Designed Around Comfort

Accommodation ranges from well-appointed deluxe rooms to expansive suites. The Deluxe King Room measures approximately 32 square metres, while the Deluxe Twin Room offers around 30 square metres. Guests seeking additional space can choose from Junior, Premium, Presidential and Royal Suites, with the largest Royal Suite extending to approximately 195 square metres. The rooms are designed to accommodate both leisure and business needs, with city views, comfortable sleeping arrangements and dedicated workspace features in selected categories. The suites add greater living space and a heightened sense of privacy, making them particularly suitable for extended stays and special occasions. The range gives the property flexibility to serve individual travellers as well as families, executives and VIP guests.

A Culinary Journey Across International Flavours

Dining is an integral part of the Rixos President Astana experience, offering guests a diverse selection of cuisines and settings within the hotel. Al-Farabi Restaurant serves international cuisine in an elegant yet relaxed environment, making it a convenient choice for breakfast and lunch. Its broad culinary selection caters to both leisure guests and business travellers looking for a refined dining experience. At Akşam Restaurant, the menu takes inspiration from the rich culinary traditions of the Middle East and Ottoman cuisine. The restaurant combines carefully crafted dishes with distinctive décor, creating an intimate atmosphere suited to leisurely meals, private gatherings and special occasions. VIP lounge spaces provide an additional level of privacy for guests seeking a more exclusive setting.

Kubbe presents a livelier dining experience, centred around grilled specialities, European and Turkish flavours, refreshing beverages and music. Its distinctive bungalow- style seating, panoramic windows and relaxed atmosphere make it particularly suited to informal socialising and evening gatherings. For a more spirited atmosphere, The Irish Pub combines live music with an extensive selection of beverages and international fare, creating a lively setting for unwinding after a day in the city. Meanwhile, the Lobby Bar offers a quieter alternative, serving tea, coffee, snacks, desserts and homemade cakes in the hotel’s grand atrium. Together, these venues give Rixos President Astana a varied culinary identity that moves effortlessly from breakfast and business meetings to relaxed evenings and social occasions.

Wellness as a Central Experience

Wellness is another defining feature of the hotel. Anjana Spa provides a retreat within the city, incorporating an indoor swimming pool, fitness facilities, sauna, Turkish hammam and treatment spaces. The concept allows guests to move easily from the energy of Astana’s business district into a more tranquil environment. The spa experience is complemented by fitness facilities equipped for different levels of training. Treatments can include traditional hammam rituals, massages and facial therapies, giving the wellness offering a distinctly restorative character.

Rixy Kids Club: A Holiday for Younger Guests

Family hospitality adds another dimension to Rixos President Astana. The hotel’s Rixy Kids Club concept is designed to give younger guests their own space for recreation, creativity and social interaction, allowing parents to enjoy the property’s restaurants, wellness facilities and other experiences while children take part in age-appropriate activities. The programme described for the property combines creative, educational and recreational activities. Children can participate in painting, drawing, necklace and bracelet making, table and card games, musical activities and group games. Sports-oriented activities such as football and Rixy Tabata add movement and teamwork to the programme. This approach reflects the wider Rixos philosophy of treating children as guests with their own holiday experience rather than simply accommodating families. The emphasis on creativity, play and social interaction helps make the hotel appealing to parents seeking a city stay where younger travellers also have dedicated activities. The broader Rixy Kids Club philosophy across the Rixos brand focuses on engaging children in a safe and educational environment through interactive games, creative activities and supervised entertainment. For families visiting Astana, this creates an important balance: adults can explore the city, dine or relax at the spa while children have opportunities to play, learn and make their own holiday memories.

A Venue for Business & Celebrations

Rixos President Astana is equally positioned as an events destination. Its meeting and event facilities are designed to accommodate corporate gatherings, conferences, banquets, weddings and private celebrations. The hotel’s largest meeting space can accommodate substantial gatherings, while multiple halls provide flexibility for different event formats. The combination of professional event support, contemporary audiovisual infrastructure, dining facilities and accommodation allows organisers to manage several aspects of an event within the same property. Weddings and gala celebrations can benefit from the hotel’s elegant public spaces, while corporate clients can use meeting rooms for conferences, presentations and business functions.

Hospitality Shaped for Modern Travellers

What distinguishes Rixos President Astana is the breadth of its hospitality proposition. Rather than focusing exclusively on luxury rooms, the property creates an integrated experience built around dining, wellness, business, entertainment and family-friendly services. Its central location, extensive accommodation portfolio and variety of restaurants allow it to serve different types of travellers without compromising its upscale positioning. Meanwhile, its connection with the Rixos brand brings an international hospitality identity to Kazakhstan’s capital.

A Refined Base for Discovering Astana

Astana is a city defined by contrasts: monumental contemporary architecture stands alongside cultural institutions, landscaped public spaces and symbols of Kazakhstan’s national identity. Rixos President Astana reflects that character through a hospitality model that blends international standards with the energy of the capital. For visitors seeking a sophisticated stay, the property offers the convenience of a central location alongside an extensive collection of dining, wellness, accommodation and event experiences. Its enduring appeal lies in that balance — a hotel designed for the demands of modern business travel, yet equally capable of delivering memorable leisure stays and celebrations. In the evolving hospitality landscape of Kazakhstan, Rixos President Astana represents a polished expression of contemporary luxury, bringing together the international heritage of the Rixos brand and the distinctive character of Astana.
