Astoria Hotel St. Petersburg

The Astoria Hotel St. Petersburg has been a fixture in the city since its opening in 1912. Centrally located next to St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg, the luxury hotel is still a favorite among visitors to the city today. The 223-room hotel offers luxury, style, and service unsurpassed by its competitors in the city.

The Astoria Hotel St. Petersburg has a rich history that dates back to the days of World War I, when it was closed and used as a hostel for top military brass and dignitaries like Lenin. It was opened again for business in 1929, before it faced war again in the face of the German Invasion. Adolph Hitler had plans to throw a victory celebration at the hotel if his invasion had succeeded.

The hotel offers all the services and amenities of any five star luxury hotel. Full concierge services are available, as well as laundry service, prompt room service, and valet services. 29 suites are available for those guests requiring more space. All rooms have two phone lines, voice mail, interactive televisions, and Internet access. A spa and fitness center are complimentary to hotel guests. The famous Davidov Restaurant and three lounges also occupy the hotel.
