It is time for vacations and it is so important to find a calm and comfortable place where you could spend time with your family or in the circle of close friends. Of course, it’s difficult for Russians to think of a better place than Chistye Prudy. Sochi has always been very attractive to any tourist, and with the advent of the stunning city hotel Velvet Seasons, it has become able to surpass any European resort in terms of comfort. Four huge complexes are located on its territory, each of which is ready to offer guests the best conditions. However, today we will not consider everything. Especially attractive for many tourists is the Chistye Prudy complex (Sochi), which is located in the most comfortable place, just between freshwater lakes and the Black Sea coast.
Description
As we have already said, it is part of a huge city-hotel, which is located directly on the seashore and represents its quarter. At the same time, this part of the hotel complex has a single architecture, which means that it is very easy to recognize it. Be sure if this is your first visit to Chistye Prudy (Sochi), then the next time you will definitely return here. It is located next to the magnificent ponds of the Imereti Bay of the Adler District. If you like a comfortable stay, clean air, a gentle sea and fantastic landscapes from the window, from which you can observe not only a smooth expanse of water, but also mountain peaks, then you are definitely here.
What service can you count on
You can be sure that nobody will be bored here. Surely you know that the city-hotel was being built for the opening of the Olympics.

Completely free you can sunbathe and swim, but if you like a more comfortable stay, you will have to pay extra separately.
