The impressive entrance decorated with neoclassical columns and guarded by two renaissance marble sculpted lions appropriately sets the tone for the interior of the hotel.
The rooms are of the high standard and elegant, contemporary classic décor that you would expect from a Four Seasons hotel. They all have large windows so are light, airy and spacious and all have beautiful full marble bathrooms. Views range from the peaceful inner courtyard to the stunning St Isaac's Cathedral, the Admiralty building and other landmarks of Saint Petersburg.
There are three restaurants to choose from, each serving very different but equally delicious cuisine. The Tea Lounge, housed in a glass-roofed hall, is where the incredible breakfast is served, as well as lunch, afternoon tea and light suppers - all have an International and Russian focus. Sintoho is the Japanese and northern Asia restaurant. The décor is very stylish and the food is delicious, especially the sushi. Percorso is the Italian restaurant and is spread through four distinctly decorated rooms - the bar, the lounge and two dining rooms and there is an open kitchen so you can watch the chefs at work. It has a fun and lively atmosphere and attracts a trendy crowd.
The Luceo Spa is beautifully designed over four levels and offers the best massage therapies and beauty treatments - the perfect way to relax after a busy day in the city. There is also an extensive gym kitted out with the most up to date Technogym equipment.
