Ask for a Terrace Room facing Arts Square, so you can overlook the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood while eating breakfast, or one of the 10 suites on the Historic Floor that were restored in 2009the original decor in each is inspired by a figure in the hotel's or Russia's history.

The atlantes on the façade lend it quite a stylish look, on a par with the interior decor offering everything its prestigious clientele could ask for(shops, restaurants, a post office and a beauty salon).
