With 5 star rated dining, hotel and spa facilities the Grand Hotel and Spa Rodina is the most exclusive place to stay in Sochi outside of the Olympic village. Flying into Sochi International Airport via jet and settling into your hotel room couldn’t be easier as the Grand Hotel and Spa Rodina is located only a few miles east of the Airport, meaning a quick and stressless journey.
