St Petersburg , Russia
Set in the heart of St. Petersburg, the Astoria is a member of the famed Rocco Forte collection. With privileged views over St. Isaac's Square, this elegant hotel is the perfect base from which to explore the magic and mystery of St. Petersburg. Its 211 rooms and suites are the height of urban chic and include luxurious touches such as marble bathrooms. Allow the St. Petersburg Concierge to guide your experience of this magnificent city, then return to enjoy a cocktail at the Kandinsky Bar and dinner at the fashionable Davidov Restaurant, which serves Russian classics and contemporary cuisine.
May to October is the best time to enjoy the summer days. Russian winters can be extremely cold, but if well protected against the elements, is a romantic time to visit.
