Light and spacious President Suite “Rachmaninov” with individual balcony is indeed the treasure of our hotel and connected to the names of Sergey Rachmaninov and Vladimir Nabokov.

 

The great Russian composer Sergey Vasilievich Rachmaninov, being a student of the Saint-Petersburg Conservatory, from 1882 to 1885 stayed in the room where now the cabinet is situated. Windows of the cabinet open onto a quiet courtyard where once the first ice rink of Saint-Petersburg was put and where Sergey Vasilievich ran to as a boy, instead of conservatory lessons.

 

This really is a museum room in the hallway of which you can observe  a unique find,  a paper wall constructed in Rachmaninov period.  A bedroom headset once owned by the family of Vladimir Nabokov creates a special atmosphere of the Saint-Petersburg XIX century classic apartment.

 

The space of the room is 55 sq m and divided in three areas – hallway, bedroom with the living room, cabinet and a bathroom. From the bedroom  balcony opens  the view onto one of the most  famous sights, The Kazan Cathedral. The cabinet can be transformed into another bedroom with two single sleeper berth.
