Tite’s side will train nearby at the Yug-Sport Stadium.

Brazil, who are hopeful of having captain Neymar fit for the start of the World Cup, begin their campaign against Switzerland at the Rostov Arena, which is almost 350 miles from Sochi by road, but the shortest of their trips by far.

The five-time world champions then visit St Petersburg’s Krestovsky Stadium — more than 1,200 miles away as the crow flies — before completing their group fixtures with a visit to Moscow’s Otkritie Arena, which will require a two-and-a-half-hour flight.

Presuming Brazil win Group E — which also includes Serbia and Costa Rica — they will begin the knockout phase at the Cosmos Arena in Samara.

But they must return to St Petersburg if they are runners-up in their pool.

Brazil were in Moscow on Friday night when they beat hosts Russia 3-0 in a friendly. 

Willian, Philippe Coutinho and Co continue their preparations with a game against Germany on Tuesday.

The hotel's luxury interior will allow Brazil to relax in comfort in between games and travel
