Quality Hotel and Location

Three Stars in the Heart of St. Petersburg

The Nevsky Hotel Grand is a historic building located in the heart of the historic downtown of St. Petersburg. Enjoy all the historic sites with no more than a 15-minute walk. A limo or town car service is available for special occasions, including a visit to the Russian ballet at the world-famous Mariinsky Theater, which is home to world greats such as Anna Pavlova. This hotel offers a quality stay, centrally located with a few extra perks.

Elegantly Appointed

The history of the area is well maintained in this hotel with quality decor and elegant furnishings. Step back in time in the common areas as you enjoy antique furnishings and decor reminiscent of the great tsars of Russia. As an international hotel it offers standard amenities that most travelers expect, including a 24-hour front desk, off-site parking with reservations required, a smoke-free property, laundry facilities and services available, a quality restaurant offering breakfast, lunch and dinner, and express checkout. 

Small but Modern

Certain rooms at the Nevsky Hotel Grand are smaller than international standards, with sloping ceilings that match the exterior roof lines. Rooms are minimalist in decor as opposed to the common areas but offer standard amenities such as flat-panel TVs, free Wi-Fi, and air conditioning. Larger suites offer in-room whirlpools and use of a sauna on site. To take full advantage, book a large-size room instead of the smaller rooms.

Easy to Visit Palace Square

All of the main downtown attractions are within easy walking distance. This includes the Palace Square, Heritage Museum, Pushkin Museum, Memorial Apartment, Arkady Raykin Variety Theatre, Savior on the Spilled Blood Church, Mussorgsky Opera and Ballet Theatre, and Kazan Cathedral. The banks of the River Neva are also close by.

The Bottom Line

Unlike the Nevsky Central Hotel, the Nevsky Hotel Grand truly sits as close to the center of the historic district as possible. Nevsky Central Hotel is on the outer fringe of the historic district, but closer to the center of the metropolis of St. Petersburg. The choice comes down to the sights and attractions that you want to visit. If you want the old-world historic centre of St. Petersburg, then the Grand is a better choice. However, if you want to experience multiple attractions around town, then the Central Hotel is a better choice. Both are comparable in amenities and offerings.
