The Nevsky Prospekt is home to some of the most beautiful sites in the world. The Kazan Cathedral, the elegant Stroganov Palace, dozens of 18th century churches with varying degrees of extravagance – and the unsurpassed hotel wonder, the five-star Grand Hotel Europe.
Aptly named, this one-of-a-kind immersion in pure Russian luxury is in and of itself an architectural marvel. It holds its own amongst centuries-old cupolas and porticos, rising above the surrounding beauty in a vibrant display of glittering golden lights and too-perfect-to-be-true sculptures. The exterior of the Grand Hotel Europe is more reminiscent of a palace than a hotel, setting the tone for pampering, luxury, and bliss.
Within its mesmerizing walls is contained a vacation heaven. Staircases that sweep you up to fairy tale ballrooms; lounges pulsing with the urgent yet relaxing melodies of orchestras; an entire mall of boutiques and stores; a fully-equipped spa; enough restaurants and bars to satisfy all cravings. The Grand Hotel holds many unique luxuries as well, such as their delectable on-site chocolate factory and special Friday night performances of dancers from the Marinksy Theater. They also offer a deluxe river boat for rent, giving you a personal tour of St. Petersburg’s waterways. Everything a traveler could desire can be found within the Grand Hotel Europe. It is a vacation island unto itself.
After all this, you should expect nothing less than perfection from the rooms. The Grand Hotel Europe does not disappoint. From its classic rooms with Swedish duvets to its terrace rooms with views of the St. Petersburg skyline to its historic suites with unique room designs, every inch of every room in the Grand Hotel is carefully decorated and tended with your stay in mind. Among the many fantastic features of the suites is a complimentary butler to make your stay not only luxurious, but indulgent. All rooms, no matter the type, come equipped with the expected hotel amenities – a mini-fridge, WiFi, toiletries, satellite television, and more. You can even customize your stay to your specific tastes – want caviar to be waiting in your room upon your arrival? Want your room filled with fresh flowers? Elegance and luxury are the only requirements. For an added bit of excitement, book a room with a balcony – these rooms prove to be the best, blending luxury with a stunning view.
With a staff of 600 to match the hotel’s cap of 600 guests, the Grand Hotel does everything in its power to hold its well-earned spot as the best luxury hotel in the world. It is our favorite luxury hotel in Russia – but don’t take our word for it. The Grand Hotel Europe has been known to treat such guests as Bill Clinton, Sting, and Naomi Campbell. In fact, during Sting and Clinton’s stay, they rented they entire hotel and held a private mini-concert in the hotel’s bar. Czar Nicholas liked to conduct meetings with foreign dignitaries in the rooftop café, mixing business with pleasure. In reflection of its famous guests, ten special suites bear the names of their notable tenants: Stravinski, Pavaroti, Chaikovsky, and more.
Being located on the Nevsky Prospekt puts the Grand Hotel Europe in an ideal location for sightseeing. Nearby you will find the Palace Square with the incomparable Winter Palace and the inspiring museum, the Hermitage. The Mikhailovsky Theater is only moments away, providing an indescribable evening of entertainment to those interested in ballet or opera. Forgot to book a ticket? Don’t worry – the Grand Hotel has special reserved seats at every major theater. Also close is the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood, built to commemorate one of the most influential tsars in Russian history, Alexander II.
In terms of elegance, comfort, and location, the Grand Hotel Europe is in a league all its own. Your stay here will be a retreat, a haven, a true and well-deserved dive into luxury.
