Hotel St. Petersbourg

Hotel St. Petersbourg has been welcoming visitors since 1850, making it the hotel with the longest history in the city of Tallinn. Approaching it through the Old Town, along streets lined with pastel-hued merchant houses, is a trip back in time. But step inside, and you’ll discover a thoroughly modern boutique hotel steeped in luxury style.  

Inspired by imperial Russia, design firm Andrew Martin has created a lavish look that celebrates the original character of Hotel St. Petersbourg. Expect eclectic furnishings and artworks alongside rich fabrics and historic features. There are plenty of places to sit back and unwind throughout the day – from cosy firesides to a traditional wooden sauna. While at mealtimes, enjoy local Estonian dishes in a rustic kitchen setting at The Golden Piglet Inn. Or opt for chic cocktails and contemporary Russian cuisine at The Hermitage Restaurant. If you're travelling with children, the hotel has thought of everything from a welcome treat and activity bag on arrival to the teddy turndown service before bedtime. They can also advise you on the best things to do in the city to keep your kids.

Tallinn Old Town is at your feet from Hotel St. Petersbourg. Wander the medieval city walls, then climb up to Toompea Castle and the onion-domed Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral. Unearth Tallinn’s contemporary side, including the magnificent Air Harbour Museum. Or watch local life play out in Raekoja plats marketplace. In the evening, restaurants and bars come to life in Tallinn. Venture out into the city to experience the lively nightlife or settle into the hotel for some Estonian cocktails.
