"After a comprehensive restoration, it's giving the Astoria a run for its money."

Ask for a Terrace Room facing Arts Square, so you can overlook the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood while eating breakfast, or one of the 10 suites on the Historic Floor that were restored in 2009—the original decor in each is inspired by a figure in the hotel's or Russia's history.
