Belmond Grand Hotel Europe

World class luxury hotel that has especially nice modern rooms while maintaining the charm of St. Petersburg. The hotel’s location on Nevsky Prospekt was especially convenient for walking to nearby shops and restaurants even in the late winter weather. One evening we dined in L’Europe which was excellent. The hotel bar is not to be missed. The staff was very competent and attentive. The only negative is one that is often experienced during the winter...the rooms were too hot. I found that getting housekeeping to leave the windows open a bit and running the fan speed on high without heat made the situation reasonable. This was such a minor issue so don’t let it prevent you from visiting this lovely hotel.

Our wedding anniversary trip to Saint Petersburg was made genuinely wonderful by staying at the Belmond. Rooms are well appointed and comfortable and the standard of service in this lovely hotel is quite simply superb, and a credit to the Belmond group. Staff from the concierge team to restaurants could not have been more helpful and considerate. Food in all the various options is excellent, especially in L’Europe where you will be made to feel really special. ( Try one of the taster menus- amazing!) Being located right in the heart of this beautiful city meant that walking or trolleybus to most of the historic and cultural landmarks couldn’t have been easier and if you want to really make the most of a trip to Saint Petersburg, you will not do better. We have been fortunate to have stayed in some fabulous hotels across the world and this one is right up there with the very best. Well done Belmond and thank you.

The location of the hotel is superb right in the middle of most happening area of St. Peter’s Burg. I was there on a official trip in a big group. It’s a very old hotel but was completely renovated and depicts pure Russian architecture. Rooms were spacious and crystal clean. Breakfast was one of the finest with a lot of variety.

We got a good deal to stay here on a room only basis and had breakfast in the Mezzanine Cafe each morning. It really was remarkably good value for the quality of the hotel. Our luggage was lost en route and the hotel quickly offered us some kit for overnight and chased up our luggage several times a day until it arrived 3 days later. Because of our lost luggage, we arrived much later than anticipated and so it was 10.40pm before we were ready to eat on our first evening. The Azia restaurant closes at 11pm but as well as being delicious, they did not make us feel rushed at all. The room was good but the remainder of the hotel was beautiful. The service really was excellent from the reception to the concierge and doormen. Also any small problem and staff were there quickly (lightbulb needed replaced one morning). Quite often there was live music in the lobby bar which is also a lovely touch. The hotel is well located near to the Nevsky Prospect but our room was very quiet. It is about a 15 minute walk from the Hermitage and just round the corner from the Russian Museum and Arts Square. Incidentally we used Uber several times and found them efficient and remarkably cheap. We would highly recommend this hotel. (We had a little look inside the Astoria and much preferred the look of the Grand Hotel Europe!)

My wife and I visited Saint Petersburg to celebrate our wedding anniversary. On arriving at this beautiful hotel I knew I had earned some brownie points. The hotel itself is stunning, with opulent yet tasteful design and the staff could not have been any more accomodating. The hotel is well situated with many essential tourist sites within an easy walking distance and a convenient consierge service for anything that requires a little more travel. I can't recommend this place enough and will be sure to stay here again when we return to the city. Thank you for making our stay a wonderful and memorable one!
