Ambassador

Hotel description

Luxurious hotels started appearing in European cities as early as the 18th century, and staying in them was considered an honor even for the most demanding public. Among such hotels as the Astoria, the Europe and the Atlantic, hotels named the Ambassador became a popular place where the nobility liked staying. In the early 20th century these hotels were ranked among the best ones and became famous for their rich high life. The Ambassador Hotel is located in the historic center of St. Petersburg, a 7-minute walk away from Sadovaya (Sennaya Ploschad’) Underground Station.

The hotel building is a unique complex which combines an architectural monument of the 19th century and a modern building. An atrium plays the central role in the foot plan of the complex. A prominent architect A. Svistunov, who took part in recreation of the interiors of the 19th century palaces that used to belong to nobility in St. Petersburg, is the author of interior design of the state- rooms of the hotel. In the Ambassador Hotel, the architect, who followed the tradition of the Academy of Fine Arts, used the Russian interior design of the 19th century as a model and gave a new interpretation of well-known classics. The state-rooms of the hotel feature a large variety of elegant lamps, vases, paintings and stucco moldings designed in the Empire style and full of fascination and charm.
