Year round, St. Petersburg is the gathering place of in-the-know Russians and international jetsetters, and in the past served as the choice destination of the country's aristocrats and tsars. For years, the elite have come to socialize and mingle in the cultural center of it all, where W St. Petersburg now sits.

The rooms open into a bold entryway defined by a rich brown diamond-cut lacquered door and wall. In the bedroom, original design details and iconic furnishings – including a wardrobe and signature W king bed with crisp linens – synthesize the rich carpet with white walls, illuminated by the glittering Orten'zia Very Very Gold signature disco-ball shaped lamp from Terzani. Recharge at the end of the day in the bathroom. Equipped with signature W spa robes, slippers, a walk-in rain shower and Bliss Spa amenities, you will not have any trouble relaxing. Heated limestone floors, full-length mirrors, and ample personal details magnify the indulgent experience.

Celebrate summer and St. Petersburg’s famous White Nights – an all-night festival centered around the summer solstice in June, when sunsets are late, darkness is never complete, and spectacular fireworks light up the sky. Overlooking Isaac’s Cathedral in custom six-person cabanas at W Terrace, chill tunes meet décor by Antonio Citterio, signature cocktails blend high-end spirits, and champagne is readily available. When the sun sets, rejuvenate with a menu of summer-inspired dishes and get ready for the all-night twilight ahead.
