New Four Seasons St. Petersburg Fit for a Russian Princess

After an almost decade-long restoration project, an 1820 Russian palace will reopen in May as a Four Seasons property in the heart of St. Petersburg. The stately, columned building—originally built for Princess Lobanova-Rostovskaya—will offer groups 151 guest rooms, 26 suites, a 8,450-square-foot ballroom, and an ideal location for sightseeing, just two blocks from the Winter Palace and Hermitage Museum. Four Seasons Hotel Lion Palace St. Petersburg is the luxury brand’s first property in Russia.
