I Tested Almaty's Most Luxurious and Most Broken Hotel

I visited Almaty, Kazakhstan to test out a 5-star luxury Ritz-Carlton hotel versus a no-frills Soviet apartment hotel. We'll give both places a comprehensive review and take a look at two drastically different parts of Almaty - one with jail bars and car alarms blaring, and the other with security guards and luxury shopping. This experience in Almaty was surprising in so many ways, so WATCH NOW for a look into 2 very different hotel experiences in Kazakhstan you never knew existed! 🎥What I'm traveling with now: Chase Sapphire cards (Chase Sapphire Reserve for Priority Pass): https://www.referyourchasecard.com/19...
