Corinthia St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg’s centrally located beacon of luxury
Corinthia St. Petersburg brings a sumptuous blend of contemporary luxury and Old World opulence to one of the city’s most vibrant corridors.
Located near Moskovskiy train station (the high-speed link between Moscow and St. Petersburg), the hotel is convenient for those who are eager to explore Russia’s cultural capital. The property stands on Nevsky Prospect (St. Petersburg’s main thoroughfare), a lively area of the city with some of the best local restaurants and bars.
While the venue is popular for conferences, thanks to its 17 meeting rooms and halls, it maintains a balance between business efficiency and the level of service expected of a grand hotel. As soon as you enter the lobby — modeled on the same light-filled, airy concept as Corinthia London’s Crystal Moon Lounge — you can expect to be met with a smile.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- Spend at least one evening in Corinthia St. Petersburg’s splendid Lobby Bar. High ceilings, white columns, stylish furniture and exquisite chandeliers create a festive atmosphere in which to sip champagne and listen to live music performed Tuesday to Saturday after 7 p.m.
- Ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the hotel underwent a two-year renovation of its rooms and suites. The recently refreshed accommodations are stylishly decorated in blue, gray, cobalt, beige and silver tones, punctuated by modern paintings and photographs.

- Warm up after a day exploring St. Petersburg with coffee and viennoiserie pastries at Café Vienna. Sweets are certainly a highlight, but more substantial fare like kamchatka crab salad, pumpkin soup and beef stroganoff also grace the all-day dining menu.
