Rocco Forte’s Hotel Astoria, St Petersburg

100th Anniversary in 2012

St Petersburg’s iconic Rocco Forte’s Hotel Astoria celebrates its 100th birthday this year.

Since 1912, Hotel Astoria has lived through the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, two world wars, Perestroika, the collapse of the Soviet Union and formation of the new Russian economy. A bastion of aristocratic traditions, it is one of a few truly Russian luxury brands which has survived the turbulent history of 20-21 centuries.

Managed by the distinguished British hotelier Sir Rocco Forte since 1997 and redesigned by Olga Polizzi, this historic hotel continues to offer consistently excellent standards of traditional Russian hospitality, a high level of service and luxurious accommodation.
