This fine hotel has a wonderful location on the banks of the Moika River, opposite the renowned Hermitage Museum and just two minutes' walk from Nevsky Prospect.
It is housed in a mansion dating back to the reign of Tsar Nicholas I. The classical façade of the building has been faithfully retained, while the interior has been entirely reconstructed and decorated with antiques of the period. The 197 rooms are furnished in a classical style with a strong maritime theme. There is an excellent fine dining restaurant serving French cuisine and on the top floor, the ‘Bellevue’ brasserie has breathtaking views of the city skyline. The Relaxation Centre has a fitness room, and a spa area offering various treatments. The vaulted wine cellar offers tastings in an intimate setting.

I have long wanted to visit myself and was not disappointed by my trip there in late September, with a slight chill in the air as the leaves turned red and gold.

View DetailsWe had the most brilliant time in St Petersburg. The hotel Astoria was excellent, the staff friendly and attentive. Our Kirker guide was lovely and informative - we cannot praise her more highly, a delightful person.
The Kirker Concierge secured me some wonderful seats at the Mariinsky Theatre to see the ballet.
Everything was very professionally executed and we felt very well cared for, especially as we are mid 70's.
We would consider no other company for a short break to St Petersburg.
