Rossi Hotel

Top choice in St Petersburg


Occupying a beautifully restored building on one of St Petersburg’s prettiest squares, the Rossi's 65 rooms are all designed differently, but their brightness and moulded ceilings are uniform. Antique beds, super-sleek bathrooms, exposed brick walls and lots of cool designer touches create a great blend of old and new.

The best rooms have superb views over the Fontanka River. A spa with sauna and plunge pool adds to the overall cachet.
