Mixing exquisite 19th Century charm with all the services and amenities expected of a modern luxury hotel, the fabled Grand Hotel Europe has been a much-loved St Petersburg landmark since 1824. The building’s magnificent baroque façade, designed by the distinguished Italian architect Carlo Rossi, is complemented by delectable art nouveau interiors, recreating an age of stylish elegance. Historically, the hotel’s wonderfully romantic atmosphere owes much to the rich legacy left by such distinguished guests as Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky, Pavlova and Chaliapin. In modern times, presidents and royalty, great entertainers and captains of industry have been among the legion of honoured guests at what is truly one of the world’s finest hotels and a wonderful setting for an incentive visit to Russia’s most beautiful city. In a bustling modern city, the Grand Hotel Europe enables incentive groups to go back in time to a more genteel age. Grace and elegance are bound to impress even the most refined individuals.

Things to do in St Petersburg

Few incentive destinations can be described with as many superlatives as St Petersburg. Grand Hotel Europe is set in the heart of St Petersburg’s cultural and business district. Within a short walk are The Hermitage Theatre, the Winter Palace, the Russian Museum, the Philharmonic Hall, the Mussorgsky Opera and Ballet Theatre, the Summer Garden and other aesthetic wonders. In the summer, St Petersburg offers Valery Gergiev’s Stars of the White Nights International festival, as well as peaceful boat trips along the Neva River and the canals. But perhaps the most inspiring season is winter, during the renowned White Days, when there are troika rides and ice fishing as well as accessible opera, ballet and concert performances of high international repute.
