Grand Hotel Emerald

The imposing modern exterior, ten minutes walk from Nevsky, is quite different to the boutique, shining, classic interior here. The Atrium Café is beautiful with a glass roof and lights spilling through the centre, there is a brand new spa and huge fitness centre. All bedrooms are eye-catching. Suites often have two levels, the Presidential and Royal are decked out with elite Italian furnishings and marble pillars. Many conference facilities and designer boardrooms.
