VAO Moscow Escort

VAO as a venue for business companionship

The Eastern district is built around two anchors: Sokolniki (the exhibition centre and park) and Izmailovo (the Kremlin replica and a major hotel cluster). A VAO business scenario almost always sits on one of these two addresses: either your guest is at a Sokolniki industry expo, or arrived for a conference at the Izmailovo hotel complex.

Where a companion is needed here

Sokolniki Expo is a key Moscow exhibition centre: technical expos, forums, congresses. Izmailovo is a hotel quartet — Alpha / Beta / Gamma / Delta / Vega — with a combined five thousand rooms and its own congress centre, plus the Izmailovo Kremlin and a vintage market as the tourist programme next door. Restaurants: Bochka in Sokolniki (an old-Moscow brasserie), the dining floor at Izmailovo Alpha, the themed restaurants of the Izmailovo Kremlin. Cosmos Hotel Pavlovo is the nearby business hotel from the same chain as Cosmos VDNH.

Logistics

Metro: Sokolniki, Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad, Partizanskaya (formerly Izmailovsky Park), Pervomayskaya, Shchyolkovskaya. Two minutes on foot from Partizanskaya to Izmailovo. Parking for Sokolniki visitors is paid and gets saturated on big-event days; a taxi is preferable. The eastern outbound route through Izmailovo handles trips to Balashikha, Reutov, Noginsk.

Dress code

Sokolniki exhibitions — business formal in the hall, smart casual for the after-event. The Izmailovo Kremlin restaurants run a tourist register, relaxed. The Izmailovo congress hall reads business — classic suit or trouser suit.

Formats in demand

VAO favours exhibition companionship (Sokolniki Expo) and a tourist programme (the Izmailovo Kremlin is a standard stop in a two-day "foreign guest in Moscow" route). Corporate events come up less often (Izmailovo as a large-event venue) along with business dinners at the Sokolniki Park restaurants.
