If you're looking for the choicest address in St. Petersburg, Rocco Forte Hotel Astoria is it. You're right where you want to be, in St. Isaac's Square opposite the cathedral and within walking distance of the Hermitage Museum. We spent many a romantic evening in the main dining room, Davidov, where international cuisine is complemented by fine wines. After dinner, be sure to stop in at the Caviar Bar for chilled vodkas and, of course, caviar. Later, retreat to your spacious suite for a good night's sleep - consider the Presidential Suite for its views of Mariinsky Palace.
