Overview
Located in the heart of the city on Nevsky Prospekt and Mikhailovskaya Ulitsa, Grand Hotel Europe is renowned as a luxury hotel and cultural landmark in St Petersburg.
Italian architect Carlo Rossi used an impressive Neo-Baroque façade to combine neighbouring properties dating back to the 1820s to create one magnificent building for the Evropeyskaya Hotel Company. This opened as Hotel de l'Europe in 1875. The beautiful Art Nouveau designs still enjoyed today were introduced by Swedish-Russian architect Fyodor Lidval at the turn of the century.
From the First World War to post-revolutionary times, the building has been a hospital, orphanage and government offices. Thanks to careful and extensive renovation between 1989 and 1991, the building was restored to its former Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau glory and re-opened as Grand Hotel Europe.
The building is now classified as a historical monument.
A total of 291 rooms and suites opulently combine history and high style with 21st-century conveniences to ensure a memorable stay.
Enjoy some of the most distinctive suites in St Petersburg by choosing one of the beautiful Unique Historic Suites, each inspired by an iconic figure—from Stravinsky to Pavarotti. Experience the grandeur of the Presidential Suites, perfect for meetings, entertaining or simply relaxing, or the Executive Suites, which have played host to everyone from world leaders to film stars.
Feel the rich history of the hotel and St Petersburg in our One Bedroom Suites, each with an entrance hall, lounge, bedroom and bathroom. Savour the spacious 19th-century charms of the Belle Chambres. Relax in the Superior rooms, and don't miss the magnificent views of the city from the top-floor Terrace rooms.
Whatever accommodation you choose, you'll find comfort, style and the best amenities to make your visit to St Petersburg even more memorable.
With five gourmet restaurants, two elegant cafés and a relaxing bar, every taste is catered for at Grand Hotel Europe.
L'Europe is regarded as one of the best restaurants in St Petersburg, with its acclaimed French and European cuisine and lovingly restored turn-of-the-century surroundings. For fine Russian cuisine, look no further than the Caviar Bar and Restaurant offering a stunning selection of caviar, vodkas and authentic Russian dishes, all served amid Art Nouveau splendour.
More relaxed dining can be found at Rossi's, a fashionable Italian ristorante. Enjoy Cantonese and Szechwan cuisine at Chopsticks where monthly specials are prepared with ingredients brought directly from China.
The delightful Mezzanine Café is the ideal place to relax or meet colleagues over fresh breakfast pastries, traditional afternoon tea or a light snack. Equally inviting is the hotel's elegant Lobby Bar with live entertainment in the evenings. And there's no better place to enjoy the long evenings of summer than at the hotel's outdoor Grand Terrace restaurant during St Petersburg's White Night festivities.
