Wyndham Hotel Group opened its second hotel in the capital city of Uzbekistan, Tashkent. Dedeman Silk Road Tashkent Hotel was renamed to Wyndham Tashkent, the Focus On Travel News – www.ftnnews.com website reported.

According to the company, the hotel started its work under new brand Wyndham Tashkent from 1 January 2015. The hotel worked under Dedeman Silk Road Tashkent worked in Tashkent from May 2003.

Wyndham Hotel Group has been running hotel Ramada Tashkent (former Park Turon) since 2013.

The hotel is only 8 kilometers (4.9 miles) from the Tashkent Airport in the heart of the modern city. The central business district and many of the exciting restaurants and other attractions are located within just 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) of the hotel.

The city emerged from the devastating 1966 earthquake stronger than ever, completely modernizing its infrastructure in the process of re-building.

The city continues to embrace a forward-looking vision, as evidenced in its towering skyscrapers and competitive universities.

Tashkent’s metro is the only one in Central Asia, and each station features distinctive architecture and décor that reflects the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the region.

This is emblematic of the city as a whole, which is at once resolutely modern and steeped in tradition. Wherever you look there are subtle and not-so-subtle reminders of the past.

Among the wide boulevards of the new city the past occasionally emerges in the form of ancient mosques, madrassas, and bazaars.
