Chechnya

Currently, there is one new hotel, the Arena City Hotel, a small five-star hotel that opened in Grozny in late 2009. There is another minor motel, but separatists are said to watch it like a hawk so if you do not blend in with the local population, you're taking a risk. The only other option is to stay with a family member or trustworthy friend. The capital of Chechnya, Grozny, is under heavy re-construction.
