13 rooms are considered Classic Historic Rooms due to their historical architectural features carefully retained in the course of the latest hotel restoration.

In comparison to the Classic Deluxe guests find additional amenities in the Classic Historic. Classic Historic Rooms have an entrance hall and bedroom with seating area.

The rooms are fully equipped with a minibar, television with satellite reception and movie channel, telephone with international direct dial facility and voice mail, writing desk and comfortable armchairs for relaxing.
The hotel's 8 Historic Belle Chambres are distinguished for retaining the generous spaces and classical style of nineteenth century. While these rooms vary in size and in layout, they are on average about twice the size of the Classic room type. The rooms have parquet floors, spacious seating areas with armchairs and a sofa, and large windows facing onto historic Nevsky Prospekt - all of which contribute to their extraordinarily light and airy ambiance. The furnishings of the Belle Chambres are antique and feature period reproduction pieces. The rooms range in size from 31 to 45 square meters.
The 9 Historic Classic Suites vary considerably in size and layout, but all share the historic features that were carefully restored during the hotel's renovation.

All rooms are equipped with a safe, air conditioning and a fax modem line. The bathrooms are beautifully appointed with marble floors, a hairdryer and underfloor heating.
Butler Service
The irrefutable advantage of staying in Historic Rooms is the opportunity to use the services of a personal butler. A butler is a direct link between guests and all the hotel’s services. If a guest wishes to order dinner in their room, purchase theatre tickets or get a shirt laundered, they simply press the button on a special device in their room and the butler will immediately arrive. Whilst showing guests to their room, the butler can tell them about the history of the city and the hotel, about cultural events and nightlife in the city, about the features of the decor and technical facilities of the rooms and about the hotel’s many restaurants. The main task of the butler is to provide maximum comfort for guests. | | |
