Partly this is due because of lack of visibility and infrastructure. While there is an interest by the foreign traveler, tourism companies are hard pressed to pull a tour together with a one or two person capacity. There are, however, plenty of one to two day tours available around the territory of Vladivostok to the nearby islands, the Far Eastern Marine and Kedrovaya Pad preserves, beautiful places. The Hyandai Hotel was opened only two years ago. Build by a Korean company, it is the most western hotel in Far East Russia.
Rooms are large and have all western style amenities, such as satellite telephones.
The hotel has a large pool, sauna and fitness center, a business center, and three restaurants. It is located not far from downtown. The Hotel Versailles was rebuild in 1993 on the same place as the original hotel was situated. It is also located close to downtown. The Versailles has a beautiful lobby currently filled with art from local artists.
