Zavidovo Changes Its Face: Radisson Apart‑Hotel Becomes Brevis by Vasta

A new chapter for the Zavidovo apart‑hotel

Since early autumn 2026, a refreshed brand has opened on the Volga shore – Brevis by Vasta, Zavidovo. The site previously housed the Radisson Residences built in 2014, a landmark of the resort. Under the management of Vasta Hotel Management, it now carries a new name and a broader service offering.

Two buildings under one roof

The re‑branding brought two separate structures:

• Classic – the former Radisson Residences, containing 239 hotel rooms and 187 apartments of various categories;
• Modern – originally opened as Brevis, where guest check‑ins will take place.

By the end of September 2026 a connecting passage will be finished, allowing guests to move between the two blocks without stepping outside.

What’s new on the service side?

According to Evgeny Makharov, CEO of Vasta Hotel Management, the new brand keeps the "high hospitality standards" set by Radisson, but adds its own twists: fresh accommodation formats, expanded resident privileges, and a more personalised approach. The level of room equipment and service procedures is expected to stay on an international level, while Vasta’s additions should make the stay even more comfortable.

Zavidovo resort: what the region offers

Zavidovo is the biggest year‑round resort in Central Russia, straddling the border of Moscow and Tver oblasts. Getting there is straightforward:

• By car – via the high‑speed M‑11 highway, roughly an hour from Moscow;
• By train – the high‑speed "Lastochka" from Leningrad Station, also about an hour.

Accommodation and infrastructure

Around 1,700 rooms of varying standards (2‑ to 5‑star) are scattered across the resort. Highlights include:

• Radisson (5 star);
• Ryabina and Erbelia (both 4 star);
• Brevis (apart‑hotel);
• Hotel complex "Yamskaya Sloboda" with camping and glamping options;
• Zavidovo SPA Village and the boutique "Club House Zavidovo".

Entertainment and leisure

The resort draws visitors to several major attractions:

• Zavidovo Park – a leisure hub featuring the largest indoor water park in Central Russia;
• An 18‑hole championship golf course;
• Spa zones, restaurants, bars and rental services;
• A private beach and the guarded "Yamsk Forest" area, perfect for quiet walks.

Projections for the 2026 season put visitor numbers above one million, underscoring the spot’s popularity with Muscovites and travelers from other regions.

Planning your trip

When to go?

Zavidovo operates all year, but summer buzzes around the beach and water park. Winter attracts spa lovers and golfers, when snow blankets the surrounding woods.

How to get there?

If you like driving, rent a car and follow the well‑maintained M‑11. For those who prefer not to be behind the wheel, the high‑speed "Lastochka" train drops you at Zavidovo station in about an hour; a short taxi or public‑transport ride will then take you to the hotel.

What to pack?

• Comfortable clothes for active pursuits (sneakers, swimsuit);
• Warm layers if you’re visiting in winter;
• A light backpack for walks in the Yamsk Forest;
• Hotel check‑in documents (passport, booking confirmation).

What to expect at Brevis by Vasta

The new brand promises a blend of proven international experience and local innovation. Guests will enjoy the same high standards that Radisson offered, plus:

• Personalised service – staff will remember your pillow preference and suggest activities that suit you;
• Expanded privileges – resident‑only offers such as free spa access and restaurant discounts;
• Modern accommodation formats – from standard rooms to spacious apartments with fully equipped kitchens.

Should you change your plans?

If you’ve already booked a stay at Radisson Residences, your reservation stays valid – only the brand name and some paperwork will be different. New visitors now have the option to choose between the two buildings, depending on how much privacy they want and what view they prefer.

Bottom line

The name change is just one piece of a larger overhaul that makes Zavidovo even more appealing for families, business trips and active tourism. Easy access from Moscow, a wide range of lodging options and a full suite of activities make the resort a solid pick for any season.
