4 or 5 Star Hotels in Odessa

I hope to be in Odessa over New Year. Can anyone recommend a few good full-service hotels to choose from in Odessa. What part of the city is most lively for music/arts/culture?

Do any of the closures from flu still persist? Is it likely to go on until the New Year?

Thanks
