At a Glance

The Astoria's sister hotel, the Angleterre, offers good value with an excellent location but limited luxuries and service.

Review

Located directly next door to the Hotel Astoria, and sharing the same stunning view of St. Isaac’s Cathedral, the Angleterre is viewed as the Astoria’s more economical ‘annex’, but the property is, in fact, one of St. Petersburg’s oldest hotels, dating from 1840. Over the years it played host to such literary stars as Leo Tolstoy and Sergei Yesenen (who committed suicide in the hotel in 1925) and like St. Petersburg itself, changed its name multiple times—from the Napoleon and the Anglia, before settling on the Angleterre after the Occupation.

Today, the modern aesthetic and corridors lined with life-sized photographic portraits of ballerinas reveal little of the hotel’s history, and the 193 rooms and 5 suites are all simply decorated in a contemporary though un-memorable style. All deluxe rooms have views of St. Isaac’s, but the split-level Superior Deluxe rooms feel far more spacious and feature prints of works by avant-garde artist Malevic.

There is a highly regarded Italian restaurant, Borsalino, which plays live music every night, as well as a casual bar and comfortable lobby area.

The hotel has multiple meeting and event spaces, so is very popular with the business and conference crowd. Leisure travelers tend to prefer the Hotel Astoria for this reason, but make use of the Angleterre’s indoor pool and fitness center.

Who Should Stay

Those looking for good value with an excellent location in an expensive city will appreciate the Angleterre. Those who prefer buzzy, contemporary scene and are willing to spend a bit more will be happier at the chicer W.
