St Petersburg hotels

Founded in 1703 by Peter the Great, St. Petersburg is a relatively new city by European standards. His love for architecture and the stylings of London, Amsterdam and Versailles helped to create a city rich in culture and aesthetic beauty. Many St. Petersburg hotels reflect this, with turn of the century architecture on the outside and stylish and modern amenities within.

While a 5-star St. Petersburg hotel offers a certain level of luxury, a trip to the city is not complete without a visit to one of the many palaces built here. With three summer palaces and a massive winter palace complex, which is now home to the Hermitage Museum – Russia’s most prized art collection, St. Petersburg offers a window into the life of 18th century nobility.
