5-star-hotels :: Grand Hotel Europe :: Overview

   Grand Hotel Europe - Russia's oldest operating grand hotel. Managed by Kempinski Hotels & Resorts, the Grand Hotel Europe invites you to plunge into a world of luxury and comfort with more than a century of tradition. We hope that your journey to this site will be just the beginning of our acquaintance and that we may soon welcome you to our historic hotel in the heart of beautiful St. Petersburg.
   Located in the very heart of the historic central shopping and business district of St. Petersburg, the Grand Hotel Europe combines all of the splendor 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 center 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 building itself dates from 1824, with a preserved Baroque facade designed by the Italian architect Carlo Rossi as well as original art nouveau interiors. Great care was taken in the renovation to preserve the building's distinctive nineteenth century architecture, including its elegant main staircase as well as its private function rooms, its suites and bedrooms, and its stunning, landmark restaurants and bars.
     Conveniently situated in the heart of St. Petersburg, it is within walking distance of the Winter Palace Square and Hermitage Museum. The Russian Museum, the Philharmonic Society, and the Moussorsky Opera and Ballet Theatre are only moments away.
