Created from 19 first-floor rooms in response to a growing demand for suite accommodation, the new suites offer space and luxury at the heart of the city with 24-hour butler service.
A St Petersburg icon centrally positioned on Nevsky Prospekt, Belmond Grand Hotel Europe has long hosted celebrated guests from the worlds of theatre, music and dance and will celebrate its 140th anniversary next year. Complementing the historic hotel’s neo-baroque décor and stained-glass windows, the contemporary new suites were created by Tihany Design, a high-end hospitality specialist whose other projects have included the recently opened Oro restaurant at sister property Belmond Hotel Cipriani in Venice.
Sprawling over 350m2, the lavish Presidential Suite is accessed through a grand lobby with dramatic domed gold-leaf ceiling and offers views of Nevsky Prospekt and Mikhailovskaya Ulitsa. The grand suite features two bedrooms with king-size beds, two marble bathrooms and a hammam sauna. The suite has its own exclusive fitness centre with treadmill and cycling machine, a games room and a combined study and library with secret bookcase door leading to the bedroom.
Guests in the Presidential Suite can enjoy privately cooked meals in the dining room, which seats up to eight people and is perfect for an exclusive dinner party, before enjoying a drink in the spacious living room’s own bar with spectacular views of the Nevsky Prospect. There is also a full kitchen and a music room with antique Carl Schroeder grand piano.
Designed in homage to Russian art of the 1900s, the five Avant-Garde Suites are named after famous artists from the era. Opulently decorated with high ceilings, each space is individually designed to reflect its namesake artist and features specially commissioned artwork that is reminiscent of their work.
The Malevich Suite features geometric shapes and bold colours; the Archipenko Suite has sensual lines and warm tones; the Kandinsky Suite is inspired by its namesake’s abstract art; the Rodchenko Suite plays on geometric shapes, light and shadow; and the Lissitzky Suite features graphic lines and clean colours. Rich wool carpets feature geometric patterns that hint at the artists’ distinctive styles.
Each Avant-Garde Suite has a spacious separate bedroom with king-size bed, living room with dining table for four to 10 people and a marble bathroom with separate bath and shower. The opulently decorated spaces feature a boudoir with dressing table, as well as luxurious upholstered furniture such as couches, corner sofas and recliners. There is also a widescreen television and atmospheric dimmer lighting.
The creation of the Presidential and Avant-Garde Suites is the latest phase in an impressive refurbishment plan at Belmond Grand Hotel Europe, which also saw the restoration of the hotel’s neo-baroque façade in 2013. The completed refurbishment will include a new pan-Asian culinary concept, AZIA, from world-class restaurant designer Super Potato. The new suites complement the hotel’s 10 Historic Suites which were reopened in 2010 following a meticulous restoration, each with a historic theme such as Pavarotti, Stravinsky, Faberge and Romanov.
Superior King Rooms at Belmond Grand Hotel Europe start from £143 per night in 2014, including taxes. Avant-Garde Suites start from £3,388 per night in 2014, including taxes. Rates for the Presidential Suite are available on request.
Each booking of two nights or more made by 1st December for travel before the end of 2014 will receive the complimentary Belmond Bonus worth $500 of two tickets to the opera or ballet at the Mikhailovsky Theatre and one set-menu dinner for two in L'Europe or Caviar Bar and Restaurant.
