Belmond Grand Hotel Europe
An integral part of the St. Petersburg cityscape for more than 140 years, Belmond Grand Hotel Europe has played host to Tchaikovsky (on his honeymoon, no less) and George Bernard Shaw. Today, guests are enchanted by the hotel's warm Russian hospitality and impeccable service — not to mention the surrounding sights, including the Russian Museum, Mariinsky Theatre and Mikhailovsky Theatre. There are many room categories to choose from, including Avant-garde suites on the historic floor, made up of the Malevich, Kandinsky, Archipenko, Rodchenko and Lissitsky suites, as well as the largest Presidential suite in St. Petersburg.

A block left of the hotel lies Arts Square; there you’ll find the State Russian Museum, which boasts the best collection of Russian art.
