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.
Fodor's "The Russian staff upholds the highest European standards, and an endless list of amenities includes the hotel's own brand of cigars and chocolates." Full review
DK Eyewitness "It has historic interiors and a wonderful, airy mezzanine café serving coffee and sumptuous cakes to visitors after an exhausting day’s sightseeing."

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).
