Where to stay in Chilanzar
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Chilanzar offers a quieter, more local stay than the centre of Tashkent. It is a residential quarter. Rooms here sit among the housing blocks and everyday streets of a Soviet-era district rather than beside the main monuments, with the Peoples' Friendship Palace and the Theatre Muqimiy among the few large draws close by.
Stay in Chilanzar if you want a calmer base with easy transport into the heart of Tashkent.

Chilanzar is a young district by the standards of Tashkent, laid out in 1981. It began as new ground. The quarter was built as a planned addition to the growing capital rather than an old settlement folded into it, its street plan and name fixed in the Soviet decades of the twentieth century.
Its story starts on the drawing board.
