Not only is the Astoria hotel ranked as 5 stars, but it is in a 5-star location!! Adjacent to St. Isaac's Cathedral and the Nicholas I monument, it is within walking distance of Nevsky Prospeckt. If you're in the mood for a longer walk, see Peter the Great monument, also known as the "Bronze Horseman", in the Decembrist Square located on the River Neva waterfront!
The Astoria Hotel was built in 1912 in the Art Deco style, and is now considered the flagship hotel of the Sir Rocco Forte hotel chain. The hotel features two restaurants, the Astoria Restaurant and the Winter Garden and even serves afternoon tea in the hotel lobby. In the hotel you'll also find a currency exchange, souvenir shop and a nightclub. Rooms are provided with cable TV, mini-bars, safe and hairdryers.
Click on the accompanying picture to enlarge the photo and see the hotel behind the Nicholas I monument. The 241 rooms here are exceptionally expensive, but prices differ with the accommodation type and the time of the year. Expect prices to start at USD$250 and may go up to $550 for suites!! For that kind of money, ask for a room with a view of St. Isaac's Square or one of the other exceptional sights in the area.
