Hotel Astoria has operated in St. Petersburg since 1912, and more than a century on, it remains one of the city's most recognizable luxury addresses, a landmark building with the kind of history that a new hotel simply cannot manufacture. The property continues to run a full calendar of seasonal programming, including a summer ball held in August 2026 that drew guests from across the city for an evening built around the hotel's grand, historic public rooms.
On the wellness side, the hotel introduced a new seasonal menu called Just For You, built around healthier, more considered dining options for guests looking for something lighter than the traditionally rich Russian fare the city is known for. The hotel has also leaned into pet-friendly hospitality, welcoming pets across any room category with dedicated menus, a detail that matters more to modern travelers than it might have a decade ago.
Amenities remain solidly in line with what a hotel of this stature should offer: complimentary Wi-Fi, express check-in and check-out, a 24-hour front desk, and a proper fitness centre, none of it flashy, all of it exactly what a guest expects from a building that has been receiving travelers for well over a hundred years.
