Four Seasons Lion Palace, St Petersburg



Traveling to St. Petersburg, Russia? Four Seasons has just announced the opening of the Four Seasons Lion Palace, a 19th century palace that has been restored to the splendor of the Imperial age ... with all the comforts that you would expect from a modern luxury hotel. The hotel takes its name from the twin lions guarding either side of the main entrance.

The hotel offers two restaurants (Italian and Asian) managed by a Michelin-starred chef, and a four-level spa features a triangular pool under a sky-lit glass dome. It sounds stunning. I hope to be able to witness the splendor of the new Four Seasons St Petersburg and write about it here.

When will the hotel open? I'm not sure of the actual date the hotel will open its doors, but the hotel is already accepting reservations for dates beginning August 1, 2013. Book through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel consultant to receive these exclusive and complimentary amenities:
  • Daily full American breakfast for two people per bedroom, served through In-Room Dining or in the hotel restaurant (including buffets)
  • Spa credit of USD100 once during stay (not applicable to products)
  • Upgrade of one category, based on availability at time of check-in (excluding signature suites and villas)
  • Complimentary high-speed Internet access for all suite bookings

Anna Karenina | visit St. Petersburg

Exeter International, Virtuoso tour company with expertise in Russia

Has seeing the movie Anna Karenina inspired you to visit St. Petersburg, Russia? The northernmost city in the world, St. Petersburg was founded by Peter the Great in 1703 and served as the Imperial capital of Russia until 1918. It is a compelling tourist destination with over 200 museums, including the world-famous Hermitage Museum... and the release of Anna Karenina will inspire even more tourists to visit in the summer of 2013.

We've got the connections for you! Exeter International is a Virtuoso tour company that can custom-design your own bespoke tour of St. Petersburg, as well as open the doors to exclusive experiences not normally open to the public. Contact your Virtuoso travel consultant to get things started.

Where to stay in St. Petersburg? One option is to come on a cruise (either a sea cruise or a river cruise) with countless possibilities next summer. The other option is to spend time in the center of things in one of St. Petersburg's Virtuoso hotels. The brand new Four Seasons St. Petersburg is opening in 2013, or choose Rocco Forte Hotel Astoria, Grand Hotel Europe (Orient Express), or Taleon Imperial Hotel. The Virtuoso or Four Seasons Preferred Partner amenities will make your stay an even better value.
