ST PETERSBURG’S
SALON
Gazing at St Isaac’s Cathedral, just a stroll away from the
Hermitage Museum and Yusupov Palace, the Astoria is a place
that instantly attunes you to the cultural heartbeat of the city.
It’s a place steeped in history, where you can savour Russian
delicacies with a shot of ice cold vodka.
It’s a place with true Russian hospitality, where personal service
is delivered with gracious ease and a local touch.

A N I M P O R TA N T
HISTORY
A city landmark since 1912, the Astoria played host to
dancer Isadora Duncan, writer Mikhail Bulgakov and poet
Sergei Yesenin.
A list of illustrious guests is engraved in brass at reception.
Lenin. Rasputin. HG Wells. Pavarotti.
We keep the names of today’s guests under lock and key.

Everything that’s great about St Petersburg is within reach.
St Isaac’s Cathedral is on our doorstep, the Hermitage and
bronze Peter the Great statue around the corner.
The nearby Marble Palace and Church of Spilled Blood are
other fascinating neighbours.

YOUR ST PETER SBURG
Like any good hosts, we’re keen to show you around. We’ll help
you unlock every city secret.
Fancy exploring Russian history with our Tsars and Presidents
Tour? Highlights are the State University — attended by Vladimir
Putin and Vladimir Lenin — and St Michael’s Castle. Sampling
Russian vodka at the nearby Vodka Museum? Browsing over 600
masterpieces at the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory? Discovering
hidden corners of the Mariinsky Theatre before a performance
enjoyed from the Astoria’s own private box?
We know every inch of the city’s 42 islands, 65 waterways and
360 bridges. Making the most of your time in St Petersburg
means separating the ordinary from the extraordinary. That’s
where we come in.

much a part of each location’s landscape as the Spanish Steps in
Rome or St Isaac’s Cathedral in St Petersburg. They are colourful,
characterful buildings with interiors that resonate with the
