The Essential On Line

This stylish, First Class hotel has undergone a complete refurbishment, with the expert eye of designer Olga Polizzi, and now provides 193 beautifully designed bedrooms, including five luxury suites, the stylish Borsalino Restaurant offering contemporary Italian food, a new Caviar bar, a Conference and Business Centre, a fully equipped Fitness Centre with sauna and small pool, a Club floor, a casino and an art gallery.

Whatever the reason for your visit to St Petersburg, Angleterre Hotel can provide all the comfort and facilities you will need to ensure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. From the moment you arrive in the city, and throughout your stay, our Reception staff or Concierge team are on hand with information about the hotel and the city, to organise tours and transfers, and to book events and entertainment for you throughout this exciting city.

Our philosophy at Angleterre Hotel is to provide the very highest standards for our guests, and no more so than in the quality of our cuisine. Stefano Balduccio, the new chef at Borsalino, presents his menu of classical Italian cooking and guests now have the opportunity to try traditional dishes from Piedmont, Umbria, Naples, Sicily, Sardinia, Genoa and Palermo.

A true Italian dish, Stefano believes, is classical, simple, and for the recipe to be authentic, has to be cooked strictly according to its regional origin, right down to the use of ingredients from that particular region. Food lovers can enjoy Fillet of Swordfish alla Siciliana, Insalata Toscana, Veal Milanese and for dessert, Cannoli and Cassata.

Adjacent to Borsalino is the Gallery, which has the most stunning views of any place in St Petersburg, overlooking the magnificent St Isaac's Cathedral. It is a relaxing venue where you can enjoy Afternoon Tea, a cocktail, a light meal from the Caviar menu, or try Hot Italian Chocolate. As quoted in the New York Times travel section, "... there is the best Espresso in St Petersburg..."

Each of Angleterre Hotel's 188 bedrooms and five suites were designed by Olga Polizzi and decorated in a style that combines the classic and the contemporary, brilliantly blending Russian and European furniture and accessories. In soft, gentle colour schemes, with sumptuously generous beds, linens from the Volga and spacious marble bathrooms, every room promises comfort, relaxation and a great night's sleep.

With its Imperial past, St Petersburg is one of the most fascinating and beautiful cities to visit at any time of year. There is a feast of museums, galleries and palaces to visit, many amongst the finest in Europe, as well as theatre, classical concerts, the famous Mariinsky Ballet and an exciting and vibrant nightlife to experience.

Ideally located right in the centre of the city, close to the breathtaking St Isaac's Cathedral, Angleterre Hotel is the perfect base from which to discover the riches St Petersburg has to offer. Our Concierge and his team are very happy to suggest an itinerary for you so you can get the very most from your stay.
