SO/ St. Petersburg
Russia
SO/ St Petersburg places contemporary design close to St Isaac's Cathedral, the Hermitage and Palace Square. Architect Antonio Citterio drew inspiration from Fabergé's jewellery, giving the hotel an individual decorative direction within a city known for historic palaces. The 137 rooms and suites range from compact categories to larger loft-style accommodation. Design remains central throughout, with different layouts allowing guests to choose a more conventional room or a more expansive city retreat. The MIXO lobby bar acts as a gathering place, while the seasonal HI-SO rooftop terrace provides views over the surrounding landmarks. These spaces give the hotel a social character that extends beyond overnight accommodation. The location is particularly convenient for visitors building a trip around St Petersburg's central cultural attractions. SO/ offers a modern counterpoint to the architecture outside, making it a good fit for travellers who want to spend the day among historic buildings and return to a hotel with a more contemporary visual identity.
