Unlike the majority of up-market hotels in central St. Petersburg, the four-star Novotel St. Petersburg Centre Hotel eschews historic charm for state-of-the-art design and hi-tech services. Opened in 2005 and located just off Nevsky Prospekt, the city's central throroughfare, the circular tower that houses the Novotel is sleek and modern, without being obtrusive. The hotel's interiors are bright and welcoming, with comfortable, ergonomic furniture and excellent technical amenities. The Novotel is primarily aimed at business travelers, and is well equipped to accommodate them, but it also has plenty to offer whatever the purpose of your visit, including a first-class restaurant and a stylish fitness center. Transport links are also excellent, with Moscow Station under five minutes' drive from the Novotel's front door, and Mayakovskaya Metro Station just across the road. From the hotel's superb conference facilities to the delightful summer terrace, the Novotel has something for everyone.
