The
Grand Hotel Europe has traditionally played host to celebrities
from all over the world and from all walks of life. Pyotr Tchaikovsky
spent his honeymoon here, and for Ivan Turgenev there was no better
place in the whole of St. Petersburg. Grigori Rasputin dined
here, as did George Bernard Shaw with Maxim Gorky. Dmitri Shostakovich
played a sonata for Sergei Prokofiev in the latter's suite, and Elton
John performed in L'Europe Restaurant. Former US President
Bill Clinton took a rest for four hours in the Lidval Suite. Actress
Jane Fonda cooked her own food at the hotel, while Queen Elizabeth
II praised the hotel's kitchen.
The
Grand Hotel Europe offers its guests gracious elegance
and luxurious comfort, something that St. Petersburg
had not seen since the era of the Tsars. The Hotel has three
