Where to stay in Yasenevo
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Yasenevo is a residential district of Moscow, and few travellers book a bed here. The hotels are elsewhere. Families come out for the Moreon aquapark and walkers for the estate grounds, but most who visit stay in central Moscow and make the trip a day out rather than an overnight one.
If you are traveling with children, the aquapark can fill an afternoon. Central Moscow holds the rooms.

About Yasenevo
What are the main landmarks in Yasenevo?
Yasenevo mixes old and new. The Yasenevo Palace survives from the estate that once stood here, with the Church of Saints Peter and Paul beside it. Older still are the Maloye Golubino burial mounds, ancient grave hills left in the ground long before Moscow reached this far.
For leisure there is the Moreon aquapark, and Transvaal Park lies close by. The set is unusual for an outer district.
What is the history of Yasenevo?
Yasenevo carries a past far older than its apartment towers. The burial mounds came first. The Maloye Golubino grave hills mark a settlement here from deep antiquity, and later the land became a country estate whose Yasenevo Palace and Church of Saints Peter and Paul still stand.
Then Moscow arrived. The estate fields were built over as the district joined the modern edge of the Russian capital.
Where is Yasenevo?
Yasenevo lies within the city of Moscow, in Russia, a large outer district set around the Moreon aquapark and Transvaal Park.
