our opinion: Striking building that is a fusion of 19th century original hotel building and a modern extension, which incorporates an atrium at the centre of the hotel. Large marble lobby with stairs leading up to lobby bar and main restaurant, There is also an a la carte restaurant on the 9th floor with fantastic views across St Petersburg, Bedrooms are traditional décor all with air conditioning, internet access, interactive TV's, mini bars and safes. The hotel offers great leisure facilities with sauna's, gym and swimming pool available to hotel guests.
