Hotel Four Seasons Lion Palace St. Petersburg  

In the heart of St. Petersburg’s historic Admiralty district, a 5-star palace hotel sits steps from St. Isaac’s Cathedral and the Hermitage (Winter Palace). Palace Square, Nevsky Prospect and the Admiralty Building are all within a few minutes' walk; Pulkovo Airport is about 26 km away. Family-friendly and centrally located for sightseeing.

Housed in the restored 19th-century “House with Lions,” the property blends heritage architecture and modern luxury — think granite grand staircases and a glass-roofed winter garden. Rooms feature iPod docks, minibars, plasma TVs, complimentary Wi‑Fi, separate tubs and showers with rainfall showerheads, laptop-compatible safes and work desks. Signature spaces include the sunny Tea Lounge winter garden and the walnut-lined Xander Bar with its double-faced fireplace.

A four-level Luceo SPA with eight treatment rooms anchors the wellness offer, alongside a spectacular triangular indoor pool beneath a sky-lit dome, sauna and 24-hour fitness center. Concierge services, babysitting (surcharge) and gift shops round out the facilities — wake up to cathedral views and stroll straight into the city.

For meetings and events there’s 9,203 sq ft (855 m²) of conference space with eight meeting rooms and a 24-hour business center. Complimentary wired and wireless internet (high-speed), limo/town car service and an airport shuttle are available.

On-site dining spans Asian to Italian: Sintoho offers Asian specialties with a sushi bar and the city’s only teppanyaki table; Percorso serves authentic Italian from a show kitchen. The Tea Lounge hosts breakfast and afternoon tea under the glass roof, Xander Bar pours cocktails by the fire, and 24-hour room service keeps late nights covered. Buffet breakfasts are available daily.
