The best overseas hotels where President Putin has stayed
Due to constant business visits, Russian President Vladimir Putin regularly stops at various hotels around the world, but it’s not often seen in the press about where the head of our state spent the night. We decided to satisfy the curiosity of readers and open the veil of secrecy over the personal life of the country’s leader. Any traveler can book a room in the “Putin Hotel” and see for himself what conditions the president had to live in.
Waldorf Astoria in New York
Vladimir Putin stayed at the Waldorf Astoria – a gigantic hotel with 1,200 rooms – several times – in 2003 and 2005, arriving in New York to open the sessions of the UN General Assembly. This famous Manhattan hotel remembers Nikita Khrushchev, Charles de Gaulle, Angela Merkel and a dozen American presidents. However, it is likely that not one of the heads of state will ever cross her threshold, because in the summer of 2015 she was “rejected” by Barack Obama’s intelligence services. At the very end of 2014, Hilton sold Waldorf Astoria to a Chinese company, which immediately started a renovation at the hotel, probably filling its walls with equipment to monitor the leaders of the countries. Does it bother “ordinary” tourists who can afford to stay in a double room for 400 euros per night, time will tell.

The best overseas hotels where President Putin has stayed
The David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem
Near the Old City in Jerusalem is the solid modern The David Citadel Hotel, which remembers Putin’s first official visit to Israel in 2005. Then the President of Russia not only stayed at this hotel, but also had lunch at a hotel restaurant with his school teacher Minna Yuditskaya, who taught German several decades ago in Leningrad. An elderly lady emigrated to Israel a couple of decades ago, and was somewhat surprised when she was invited to meet with the Russian leader. It is known that during the meal the president and his mentor indulged in memories. A night in a double room of this hotel can now be booked for about 355 euros.
Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi
There are legends about the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi: they say that a record amount of $ 3.5 billion was spent on its construction, that you can buy gold bars of different sizes in the lobby in a regular vending machine (similar to a vending machine for selling carbonated drinks), and everyone who booked a room is checked by a special service and not everyone is honored to spend time in the middle of their blinding eyes with the golden sheen of the interiors of this luxury hotel. It was this secretly awarded 7-star hotel that Vladimir Putin chose during his first visit to the UAE in 2007. Accommodation in one of the most expensive hotels in the world will cost you 430 euros for the “cheapest” double room.
Sofitel Grand Sopot in Sopot
On the beach of the small Polish resort town of Sopot, near the water park and the Lysa Gora ski center, there is one of the most luxurious hotels in the world – Sofitel Grand Sopot, the walls of the presidential rooms of which remember historical figures such as Charles de Gaulle, Fidel Castro and Adolf Hitler, unique singer Demiss Roussos, Iranian sheikhs and many other rich and famous guests. The stay of Vladimir Putin in 2009 was remembered by hotel employees primarily because the Russian delegation bought almost all the rooms. You do not need to blame the extravagance of our civil servants: you can also stay in a double room for only 100 euros!
Las Ventanas al Paraiso in San Jose
The hotel name Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Spanish means “Windows to Paradise.” Its snow-white villas, standing on the shores of the azure waters of the Cortez Sea, are surrounded by tropical greenery. In this truly heavenly place, Vladimir Putin settled down, arriving in Mexico at the G20 meeting in 2012. Then the popular resort of San Jose del Cabo for several days turned into a military base in a state of combat readiness, because in addition to our president, the heads of a couple of dozen states of the world gathered there, bringing with them crowds of armed guards and maintenance personnel. Now no one will interfere with your vacation, you just need to book accommodation in a double room for 1600 euros.
Mulia Resort in Nusa Dua
The luxurious Mulia Resort in Nusa Dua immediately after the opening became known to the whole world because Vladimir Putin stayed there, who participated in the APEC summit in Bali in 2013.
