Moscow Hotel: Saint-Petersburg, Russia
LOCATION
Of all 3-star hotels in St.Petersburg the Hotel is perhaps the most conveniently located in the very end of the Nevsky Prospekt, the main avenue of the city. Hotel Moscow is located near the Nevsky Prospect and the Neva embankment. In front of the Hotel stands the city's beautiful Alexander Nevsky Laura, the oldest architectural ensemble of the 18th century. You can walk to some of the city's attractions and conveniently commute to others and the Hotel is very well served by public transport. The Hotel building also houses a Metro station Ploschad Alexandra Nevskovo and several buses and trolleybuses will take you directly into the city centre and all the major sights. Pulkovo airport is in 15 km.
During the white nights, you can enjoy an incredible view of the city and the River from your room: one side of our arc-shaped building faces the Neva River while the other overlooks the Nevsky Prospect. Spacious halls on each of the five dwelling stories look attractive thanks to plenty of greenery and flowers that you can also find in the big winter garden. The unique view of the city will always be with you. The Hotel is equipped with security TV.
