Corinthia Hotels: What to Expect in St. Petersburg

The Corinthia Hotel brand effortlessly blends into St. Petersburg’s Imperial style, especially amongst the historic buildings that line Nevsky Prospekt. While the façade compliments the surrounding architecture, guests will be met with chic, modern interiors that have updated the style of the tsars.

Rooms range from the relatively modest superior rooms with LCD TVs and pillow menus, to extravagant royal suites featuring private balconies, marble bathrooms and access to the Executive Club Lounge. Stylish restaurants and elegant cafes serve a variety of dishes, and there’s even a choice of bars, each providing a sophisticated setting for a nightcap.

Discovering St. Petersburg’s Imperial History

Guests can see how the tsars lived by travelling out to Peterhof for the day. Situated on the edge of St. Petersburg, Peterhof is easily reached by train from Baltiskiy Station or, during the summer, by hydrofoil on a gentle sail up the River Neva. In the Grand Palace, the Oak Study Room is the only room whose décor dates back to Peter the Great. Elsewhere on the estate, Peter’s original residence, the Bolshoi Dvorets, has views across the whole of Peterhof and the Gulf of Finland.

There is more Imperial extravagance back in the centre of St. Petersburg at Palace Square. The beautiful Winter Palace now contains the State Hermitage Museum. Some rooms have been restored to how they would have looked during Peter’s reign and are now decorated with parquet floors and Dutch tiles. Many of the tsar’s personal items are on display as part of the museum’s exhibitions.

Tsarskoe Selo, an estate of palaces to the south of St. Petersburg, gives visitors a glimpse into the final years of Imperialism. Exhibitions at Alexander Palace, Nicholas II’s favourite residence, explores the last fatal few years of the Romanovs.
