2 ST PETERSBURG S SALON Gazing at St Isaac s Cathedral, just a stroll away from the Hermitage Museum and Yusupov Palace, the Astoria is a place that instantly attunes you to the cultural heartbeat of the city. It s a place steeped in history, where you can savour Russian delicacies with a shot of ice cold vodka. It s a place with true Russian hospitality, where personal service is delivered with gracious ease and a local touch. 1

3 AN IMPORTANT HISTORY A city landmark since 1912, the Astoria played host to dancer Isadora Duncan, writer Mikhail Bulgakov and poet Sergei Yesenin. A list of illustrious guests is engraved in brass at reception. Lenin. Rasputin. HG Wells. Pavarotti. We keep the names of today s guests under lock and key. 2 3

4 Everything that s great about St Petersburg is within reach. St Isaac s Cathedral is on our doorstep, the Hermitage and bronze Peter the Great statue around the corner. The nearby Marble Palace and Church of Spilled Blood are other fascinating neighbours. 4 5
