In a city with a great past, the official opening of Hampton by Hilton Turkistan, the first Hilton hotel in South Kazakhstan, took place. The hotel of one of the largest hotel corporations in the world was built by the construction holding BI Group.

The construction of a new hotel contributes to solving one of the main problems of tourism development in the region - improving the service sector. Therefore, the importance of the implementation of this project is invaluable, noted in his welcoming speech the Deputy Akim of the region Arman Zhetpisbay.

- I would like to express my gratitude to BI Group for its contribution to the development of tourism in our city. This project opens up an opportunity for the guests of Turkestan to use the international level service at an affordable price. The hotel harmoniously fits into the style of the city, successfully combining the traditions of the past and the present.

The hotel is located in the cultural and spiritual center of Turkestan, in close proximity to the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yassavi, a monument of history and culture, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Also within walking distance is the center of Ula-Dala and the Visit Center Turkistan. Convenient access to the city's international airport is also a big plus of the hotel's location. It is only 15 km from the hotel to the air harbor.
