With hotels in key locations from Edinburgh to Rome and St Petersburg to Brussels, Rocco Forte Hotels is focused on delivering the highest standards of service in stylish accommodation, sophisticated restaurants and rejuvenating spas. Rocco Forte Hotels is proud to present the new Hotel Astoria, following a comprehensive refurbishment programme. The hotel, which is located in the heart of St Petersburg in St Isaac's Square, is a tribute to this beautiful and historical city. The finished result will give you the best luxury hotel in the city, complete with all the five-star facilities expected by today's business and leisure guests and guaranteed by the management of Rocco Forte Hotels. Decorated in traditional style with modern elements, all rooms have wooden parquet flooring, new comfortable furniture, linen curtains and marble bathrooms. St Petersburg is a magical and beautiful city. It was founded in 1703 by Peter the Great and built on the delta of the River Neva on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, hence the network of scenic canals running throughout the centre. These have earned it its reputation as the 'Venice of the North', with a total of 68 tributary rivers and canals and 349 bridges throughout the city. There is so much history and so many different styles of wonderful architecture that it is a pleasure to explore on foot. There are 150 palaces interspersed throughout the city, the majority of which are extremely ornate with their gilt and amber interiors and are well worth a visit. Most city palaces have a countryside counterpart, for example the stunning summer palace at Peterhof, which can be visited by hydrofoil during the winter months. Another stunning summer palace is Catherine Palace in the town of Pushkin, a short drive from the city centre. Equally splendid are the Russian churches, often with differently coloured exteriors, depending on the era in which they were built. One of the most popular times for visiting the city is the 'White Nights' period in the early summer. During these months it never gets dark and the main bridges are opened for an additional hour each night to allow ships to pass up and down the River Neva. In the winter months the famous Kirov Ballet performs at the Mariinsky Theatre and provides a great attraction to the city. A programme of concerts, operas and ballet continues through the summer months. Whatever the season, we host a variety of grand balls and occasions in the hotel's stunning Winter Garden Hall. We also have a number of individual rooms available for private dining in addition to the use of the facilities in the adjacent Angleterre Hotel. Whatever your requirements, the hotel team will be happy to help you plan a tailor-made event to remember. Located in the heart of St Petersburg, overlooking St Isaac's Cathedral, the Hotel Astoria combines traditional Russian character with the elegant sophistication of an international luxury hotel.
