Hotel Astoria

St Petersburg


What the Hotel Astoria has lost of its original Style Moderne decor, it more than compensates for in contemporary style and top-notch service. Little wonder it’s beloved of visiting VIPs, from kings to rock stars. Rooms marry the hotel’s heritage character with a more modern design, while the best suites are sprinkled with antiques and have spectacular views onto St Isaac’s Cathedral.

The same views – at a slightly lower price – are also available next door at its sister property, the Angleterre Hotel, where guests can use the gym and pool.
