Belmond Grand Hotel Europe
Russia
Grand Hotel Europe stands at the meeting of Nevsky Prospekt and Mikhailovskaya Street, placing a historic hotel within St Petersburg's cultural centre. Its heritage is expressed through grand public spaces and interiors associated with the city's Art Nouveau period. Rooms and suites pair classical decorative references with modern accommodation. The setting makes the property a useful base for exploring the surrounding avenues and cultural institutions, while giving guests a strong architectural point of return. L'Europe is an important part of that identity. Its dining room features stained glass and carved wooden balconies, creating a setting that has become closely associated with the hotel. Heritage menus have also drawn directly on meals served during earlier chapters of the property's history. The hotel is now presented through its own Grand Hotel Europe website. Travellers drawn to historic European hotels will find its principal appeal in the continuity between building, dining room and neighbourhood, with the public interiors deserving attention alongside the accommodation.
