Aeroport is a district in north-west Moscow, named after the old Khodynka Aerodrome and not after a current airport. It is a mostly residential area with sports venues, two Stalin-era metro stations and two hotels at very different scales.
The list on this page covers the hotels and the stations that serve them. Use the text below to decide where to stay and which stations are worth a look. Match days and events at the VTB Arena bring crowds, so check the arena's schedule before you book or travel.
Choose a hotel
Choose Petrovsky Park Congress Hotel if you want facilities. It is a premium hotel with 298 rooms and suites next to the VTB Arena and Petrovsky Park, with a pool, a spa, two restaurants and large conference space. It suits event visits, and the nearest station is Dinamo.
Choose Triumph Palace Boutique Hotel if you prefer something small. It has 15 rooms on the upper floors of a Stalin-inspired residential skyscraper, a few minutes from Aeroport and Sokol stations. The area is quiet, and the views are best in clear weather. The hotel's own site was not found, so confirm details before you book.
Metro stations worth a look
Aeroport has an aviation-themed single-vault hall. Dinamo is a deep station under Leningradsky Prospekt, with sport-themed reliefs, colonnaded entrance halls and an underground walkway to Petrovsky Park. Both are on the green Line 2.
Petrovsky Park is a shallow station on the Bolshaya Koltsevaya Line, beside the VTB Arena and the Dynamo Central Stadium, with a walkway to Dinamo.
Mid-morning and early afternoon on weekdays are calmer, and late evening is the quietest time to look at the halls. Rush hours and the periods before and after events are busy.
