Sister property to the five star Astoria, the Angleterre Hotel has one of the best postcodes in St Petersburg. The hotel has been renovated, so perhaps lacks some of the original features found in the Astoria, but it makes up for this in value and views, sharing many communal facilities with its sister hotel. Many of its rooms have views of St Isaac's Cathedral, so you can admire the bronze dome of this architectural masterpiece over your morning coffee, while theatre enthusiasts can take advantage of the property's close proximity to the iconic Marinsky Theatre.

Rooms
The hotel has seven room and suite categories. One of the most important differences between the rooms is the views, with Classic and Executive rooms looking out onto the inner courtyard and garden, Deluxe and Superior rooms and Junior and Deluxe Suites enjoying views of St Isaac's Square and Cathedral, and Studio rooms overlooking Malaya Morskaya Street. Junior and Deluxe Suites are also more spacious than the rooms categories, featuring a cozy lounge area. All rooms and suites are equipped with modern amenities including complimentary Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a TV, safe, mini bar and marble en suite bathroom. Classic and Executive rooms come with a queen size bed or twin beds, while the rest of the rooms and suites have king size beds.

The Marinsky Theatre is also within walking distance of the hotel, where guests can enjoy the most renowned ballet and opera productions in the city.

Facilities and Activities
The hotel offers a laundry and dry cleaning service, an on site doctor, transfers and a concierge service. There's also a gift shop, lobby lounge and meeting facilities on site.
