The Bar/Lounge at Corinthia St Petersburg

"Upgrade to a Suite for access to the Executive Club Lounge for free breakfast, all-day drinks and spectacular views of the city"

"This 19th-century behemoth, one in a series of palatial Baroque and Neoclassical buildings—and actual palaces—lining the city’s famed main thoroughfare, reopened in 2009 after a $135 million refurbishment"

"It's an excellent choice for a stay in the historic city, since it's within walking distance of pretty much all the major sites, as well as many bars, restaurants and clubs"

"The art deco–inspired lobby is a snazzy place to relax, especially when a DJ plays low-key lounge music on weekends"

"In addition to a better room, you'll get ironing services, business assistance (free printing, Wi-Fi, computer usage), and access to a lounge supplied with an impressive array of free food and drinks"
