Fitness and relaxation facilities include a 245 square metre fitness club, Pace, featuring a fitness area, solarium, massage room, Finnish sauna and steam bath next to the indoor relaxation area with comfortable loungers.

Radisson SAS Kiev comprises two buildings, dating back to 1882 and 1903. Both sites have a rich history; one of them once belonged to the Talberg family, depicted by Bulgakov in his famous novel ‘White Guard’.

The original design, heavily influenced by the eclecticism of the early 20th century, brought the building the status of Monument of Architecture, thus the original design of the façade is carefully preserved. The Radisson SAS Kiev project was developed by A. Pashenko Architect Studio with S. Zdorenko as main architect.

The city of Kiev is famous for its numerous parks, gold-domed churches and tremendous views over the Dnepr river. One of the most ancient of cities with over 1500 years of history, Kiev is a modern European city where legendary traditions successfully combine with the dynamism of the newly-independent nation's capital city. Kiev is extremely rich in world-famous architectural and historical sites and with its numerous parks and gardens, it is famed for being one of the greenest cities in the world.

One of the fastest-growing cities with a population of over four million, the city represents the heart of the political, cultural, scientific and industrial life in today's Ukraine, providing as well numerous and varied possibilities for first-class entertainment.
