Starwood Opens First W Hotel in Russia

Starwood has opened its first W Hotel in Russia.

The W St. Petersburg is owned by Real Estate Development Ltd., and features 137 rooms, a signature restaurant miX, bar and rooftop lounge by three Michelin star chef Alain Ducasse, and a signature spa. The hotel was designed by Milan-based Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel Partners.

Located in the heart of the “Venice of the North”, W St. Petersburg is just steps from the city’s landmarks like the magical St. Isaac Cathedral, the Winter Palace, which houses the famed Hermitage Museum, and the wide Neva River giving St. Petersburg its charm.

Of the hotel’s 137 rooms, there are 10 suites and one Extreme Wow Suite (W’s take on the traditional Presidential Suite), all featuring custom-made furnishings with witty accents unique to St. Petersburg.

The hotel will also feature miX, a signature restaurant, bar and rooftop lounge by Alain Ducasse, a signature spa with indoor pool, and a fully-powered Sweat Fitness Center with Technogym exercise equipment.

Rooms start from RUB7200 ($258) per room per night plus VAT.
