Classic Elegance in the Heart of St. Petersburg
Where Russia Meets Venice
Characterized by its natural canals and winding rivers, St. Petersburg has much to see, and at the Top Ambassador* hotel, guests will be staying in the center of it all for a great rate. Visitors traveling for business or pleasure will find their stay delightfully productive, experiencing all that "Northern Venice" has to offer at this centrally located hotel.
Great Location
At about a 40-minute ride from the airport, the Top Ambassador is ideal for those who would like the opportunity to see the city, especially those traveling on business or for short stays in St. Petersburg. Between meetings in one of the hotel's six conference rooms, guests can slip away for some tourism, snapping photos of the city's iconic landmarks like the Central Railway Museum, St. Isaac's Cathedral, the State Hermitage Museum and the Winter Palace, all within a couple of miles of the hotel.
Ask about the private limo or town car service for seamless transportation around the city.
Old World Grandiose, Modern Flair
Guests will marvel at the ornate decor of the Top Ambassador lobby. What's more, all 251 rooms retain this traditional design with a sophisticated touch. From economy room to presidential suite, each spacious and bright room comes complete with plush bedding (hypoallergenic bedding is available upon request) and interactive premium television. Though rooms located on the upper levels offer more stunning, and some panoramic, views of St. Petersburg, previous guests recommend booking a room with a courtyard view that is a couple of levels below the 9th floor restaurant, as you'll enjoy a quieter stay.
The Detinets, a replica of the traditional paddle steamers, is available for booking. Ideal for meetings and small business use, guests can use the yacht for business meetings, excursions like a private on-board barbecue, or a leisurely sail around St. Petersburg. If boating is not part of the itinerary, check out the sauna and the 16-meter indoor pool, purified with a three-stage chlorine-free system and set against a glittering mosaic backdrop.
The Bottom Line
An Art Deco-inspired lodging in the heart of one of the world's richest historical and cultural centers of the world, the Top Ambassador hotel is not only a great value for a four-star stay but is also regarded as one of the top diplomat hotels of the area for its business-related amenities.
