Neighborhood

The Palace Square, the Alexander Column – these are but a few of the national treasures you will pass on your way to the quaint Pushka Inn. It is tucked away on a quintessential St. Petersburg alley with intricate 18th century buildings and the Griboedov Channel as neighbors. The cozy setting of the Inn balances nicely with the array of sites within walking distance, such as the Cathedral of the Savior on Blood and the world-renowned Hermitage museum.

The inside of the Inn is just as quaint as the surrounding alley. Built by Ivan Pushkin, one of the closest friends of Russia’s famous poet Alexander Pushkin, the Pushka reflects an antique style. Being a boutique inn gives it a tiny lobby, but its delicious 24-hour restaurant makes up for it by serving free breakfast and giving a 20% discount to hotel guests on lunch and dinner. All of the rooms are non-smoking and come in two options: Comfort, larger and slightly more expensive, and Economy, smaller and less expensive. You can also obtain a family room, an apartment-like complex with two bedrooms, a sitting room, and a fully-equipped kitchen that comes supplied with a tea setting.

The staff at the Pushka Inn is wonderful. They are willing and eager to help with any questions you may have, and provide for your use a copy machine, fax, WiFi internet, and even laptop rental. It is their excellent customer service that enhances the aura of peace and comfort in this inn, sending it to the top of our list as a 4-star hotel.
