Saint Petersburg (or Petersburg City) - easily one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Its classy European elegance attracts thousands of tourists every year. And just by letting you know about the best hotels Russia . City has to offer, I know I can make you one of those thousands.

First off, there is Angleterre Hotel. Devotees of church architecture have something to gaze at everyday as the hotel is just across the iconic St. Isaacs Cathedral. It offers elegant rooms and service that is topnotch. There is an abundance of different kinds of shops as major downtown attractions are just within reach.

At the heart of Nevsky Prospekt side of St. Petersburg, the Radison SAS Royal Hotel noticeably stands. This is another one of the hotels St Petersburg City keeps for the sightseeing travelers. Of course it is also good for business travelers. Good food? Radison SAS Royal Hotel houses one of the most famous restaurants in Barbazan restaurant.

Located near the Moika river, our next hotel is the Hotel Moika 22 Kempinski. This is a relatively new hotel having opened only in 2005. The interiors lean towards modernism so this is more for people with a conventional taste. The river of course is a great attraction, probably a big criterion for you in looking for the ideal hotel.

Another one of the hotels Saint Petersburg City is known for is the Petro Palace Hotel. It is situated right in the citys historical center so its good for people who come for its rich history. Saint Petersburg by the way is also popular for being a cultural center with a UNESCO heritage site under its belt. The hotel is very accessible as it is just 3 km coming from the Moskowski railway station and about 15 km from the Pulkovo airport.

The Ladoga Hotel may have you a little confused, what with its 1960s facade thats very different from most of the hotels Russia has. Here, the receptionists are multi-lingual, not to mention extra friendly. The restaurants that the hotel has are famous for breakfast buffets and a-la-carte style serving all throughout the day. The rates here are also cheaper than other hotels so this is one of the hotels for people on a tight budget.

One of the best hotels in Russia maintains is the Grand Hotel Emerald. It boasts of a high-technology infrastructure that makes it the hotel of choice for big-name personalities. The service is excellent and the interiors, unmistakably unique. But of course this is not for everyone, taking into consideration the rates.

Probably the hotel with the best location (among the citys 3 star hotels), Moscow Hotel is located in the citys main street of Nevsky Prospekt and is just a bus ride away from its major attractions - all in downtown St. Petersburg.

There you have it. Just some of the best hotels there are in St. Petersburg. Choose one that is best for you. I hope I help in my little way. Thank you and take care on your visit.
