Grand Hotel Europe | Best places to stay in St. Petersburg

"A glorious grand dame hotel looming above Nevsky Prospect, and next to Arts Square, the Grand has been welcoming guests into its stunning art nouveau interior for more than a century. Just walking through the door is like stepping back into a more graceful, elegant age; everything – from the city’s only caviar bar to the generously-sized bedrooms – oozes classic Russian style. Sip cocktails at the Lobby Bar, dominated by original stained-glass panels and a swooping, marble bar. Dine at L’Europe – a theatrical dream of a dining room, delivering classic Russian dishes and live music since 1905. " - Jennifer Eremeeva
