All destinations
Coral islands in the heart of the Indian Ocean, where privacy is the starting point
An island of calm, made for unhurried days
The land of smiles and golden temples
Temples, rice terraces and the Indian Ocean
A city in a garden, just north of the equator
From towering skylines to desert sands
Land of the tsars, white winters and long summer light
Saint Petersburg · Russia
Theatre, glamour and more than a century of history at one address
City
A grand hotel on St Isaac's Square in the centre of St Petersburg, with a stately facade and an intimate, elegant interior. For more than a century it has witnessed the city's history and hosted its royals, writers and stars.
Theatre, glamour and more than a century of grand history at one address. The hotel has an unrivalled position in the centre of the city, a stately facade, a striking interior and an intimate, elegant feel, with afternoon tea served in the Rotonda Lounge.
The story of the Astoria is the story of St Petersburg itself. It has witnessed the city's great moments and welcomed its most famous guests, from royalty and writers to rock stars, and it is still the place to see the city and be seen in it.
The Winter Garden and the ballroom hold up to 220 guests, and six meeting rooms up to 70, for official occasions and private celebrations.
Accommodation
Dining
The Astoria Restaurant is a St Petersburg institution: fine cooking and warm, worldly service in a daylit room facing St Isaac's Cathedral. Afternoon tea in the Rotonda Lounge completes the picture.
