Hampton by Hilton has opened its first hotel in Russia.

"We pride ourselves on the quality of our product and the strength of our 'Hamptonality' service culture, to the extent that we offer a 100 per cent Hampton Guarantee, meaning that if a guest is not totally satisfied with their stay we don't expect them to pay."
The city itself is divided into two parts by the Voronezh River and boasts a number of parks and monuments, the most famous of which are of Pushkin and Peter the Great.
