Located in the very heart of the historic central shopping and business centre of St. Petersburg, the Grand Hotel Europe combines all of the splendour of a bygone age with deluxe modern facilities and the highest international standards of service.

The first five-star hotel in Russia, the Grand Hotel is far more than simply a superlative hostelry - it is, like only a few hotels around the world, an integral part of the history and the culture of its city and its nation. Its roots date back to the 1820s, and for more than 150 years the Grand Hotel Europe has stood at the very centre of the city's social, cultural, and commercial life. Completely renovated between 1989 and 1991, the hotel is today more vital, more magnificent, and more enchanting than ever before.

The Grand Hotel's beautiful banquet and conference facilities are hosting Russia's most notable social and cultural events. Each room is unique with classical interiors, beautiful views and the most up-dated facilities.

Restaurants & Bars

Guests of the Grand Hotel Europe may choose from no less than seven superlative bars and restaurants, ranging from the airy charm of afternoon tea in the Mezzanine Cafe to the exceptional grace and distinguished culinary artistry of the Europe Restaurant. For late night drinks, there is no more captivating and convivial surround than the Lobby Bar, while at Sadko's, the meeting spot, the energy--like the nightly live music--reaches a slightly higher pitch. Rossi's, an informal spot possessed of a superb wine list, serves delicious Italian dishes all day long, and at Chopsticks those with a longing for Chinese can enjoy authentic Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine. Most recently, the hotel commemorated the grand re-opening of its historic Caviar Bar, an elegant, intimate spot in which to enjoy Russia's most renowned, exquisite fare.

The Grand Hotel Europe is manager by Kempinski Hotel & Resorts.

Since 1994 the Grand Hotel Europe is being a member of "The Leading Hotels of the World"; it was the first Russian hotel to receive this prestigious award. It also received the Egon Ronay Guide Award for the best hotel in Eastern Europe.

The hotel is a member of the "Swiss International Hotels" group and has been chosen as one of "The most famous Hotels in the world", along with a special book which has been written about the legendary history of this home.
