In much more than name, Rocco Forte Hotels is the Forte family. At its head are Sir Rocco, his sister Olga and

his three children. Behind it are four generations of Forte hoteliers. It is in every way a family business; a shared love evident

in every Rocco Forte hotel – each exuding the Forte’s innate Anglo-Italian style, sophistication and warmth.

Accordingly, you can expect certain things of Hotel Astoria, their St Petersburg property. You can expect to be in the city’s beating

heart, in the midst of St Petersburg icons: the majestic St Isaac’s Cathedral, Hermitage and Mariinsky Theatre.

You can expect a storied past – the Astoria has seen every major Russian event of the last century. And you can expect to

encounter a building of note, an emblem of the city.

These qualities captured the Fortes’ hearts; their imprint on it will win yours. The characteristic welcome; personalised, thoughtful

care. Olga Polizzi’s interiors: a joyful mix of modernity, original features and the comforts of home. A nod to the building’s past and postcode: uplifting the grand, Art Nouveau building with

bold jewel tones; monochrome nudes and James Bond stills nestling Tsarist-era antiques. A touch of drama equally fit for

afternoon tea, a hammam or a cold vodka raised in honour of the many eminent guests to do so before.

Beloved for its inventive Russian restaurant, cosmopolitan bar and exquisite afternoon tearoom, the Astoria has played host to everyone from Rasputin, Lenin and Bulgakov to The Doors, The Rolling Stones and Pavarotti

“Deep reds, St Petersburg blues, colours from the palaces along the Neva River – for me, this suite says Russia” Olga Polizzi

In the 1930s, the Astoria became a sanctuary for writers, artists and musicians; the same parquet flooring still runs through its 83 rooms and 86 suites

Our Royal and four Presidential Suites occupy the hotel’s south-west corner, each named after a Russian composer: Tchaikovsky, Stravinskij, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Rachmaninov

Sample original cocktails, exclusive whiskies and an impressive gin collection from all over the world at the Lichfield Bar, adorned with photography by the iconic Lord Lichfield

The Astoria Restaurant: inventive Russian dining with a modern European twist
