An architectural gem on St. Isaac’s Square, this historic hotel – which owes its elegant appearance to Fyodor Lidval, the master of Northern Art Nouveau – is rightly regarded as one of the symbols of Saint-Petersburg. Over its more than 110-year history, the hotel has welcomed heads of state and corporate leaders, as well as stars of cinema and show business.
The Astoria is renowned for its sumptuous breakfasts, elegantly presented, the sophisticated cocktails at the Lichfield Bar, and the inspiring menu by the hotel’s head chef, François Cantin, at the Astoria restaurant: classic Russian and European recipes with a contemporary twist.
