|
| Address: 13, Grechesky Prospekt, St. Petersburg, 191036 |  |
| Nearest metro: Ploschad Vosstaniya |
|
|
Very close to Moscow Station, the Guesthouse stands on a quiet side street in the commercial center of St. Petersburg. Right next to the hotel is the Oktyabrskiy Concert Hall, which regularly hosts concerts by big-name Russian and international artists. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, bars and clubs in the area, although most of the city's most famous tourist attractions are at the other end of Nevsky Prospekt, a short bus or metro ride away.
The Moscow Station is five minutes' walk from the Guesthouse Mini-Hotel, as is Ploschad Vosstaniya Metro Station. Other mainline stations are 20 to 30 minutes' drive away, and Pulkovo-1 and Pulkovo-2 airports are about 40 minutes from the hotel by car.
Ploschad Vosstaniya, just five minutes' walk from the hotel, is home to a monument to Leningrad the "hero city" - the highest Soviet state award given to cities for heroism and courage during the Second World War. In Leningrad's case, this was for surviving the horrific 900-day blockade by the Nazis.
The Alexander Nevskiy Monastery, at the far end of Old Nevsky Prospekt, is about 15-minutes' walk from the hotel. The monastery is named in honor of one of the city's patron saints, the defender of the Russian lands in the 13th century. Founded by Peter the Great in 1713, it contains an Orthodox seminary, the splendid Troitsky Cathedral and two memorial cemeteries where several famous people are buried, including Dostoevsky, Glinka, Tchaikovsky and Mussorgsky.
The Museum of the Arctic and Antarctic is about 10-minutes' walk from the hotel. This is the only museum of its type in Russia and one of major museums of polar exploration in the world. It is home to 75,000 items dating from the 16th century to the present day.
