Belmond Grand Hotel Europe
Russia
Nineteenth-century grand hotel on Nevsky Prospekt with a stained-glass ballroom, Saint Petersburg, Russia
No. 587 · Autumn 2026
A hotel that has hosted the city since 1875
Grand Hotel Europe is a historic hotel on Nevsky Prospekt in central Saint Petersburg, with the stained-glass Krysha Ballroom and terrace and the Art Nouveau L'Europe restaurant for weddings.
Grand Hotel Europe opened in January 1875 on Nevsky Prospekt, in a building whose facade was unified by the architect Karl Rossi in the 1830s. Its interiors were remodelled between 1908 and 1914 by Fyodor Lidval in the Art Nouveau style, and the hotel stands beside Arts Square, the Philharmonic Hall and the Mikhailovsky Theatre.
Weddings in the Krysha Ballroom and at L'Europe
The Krysha Ballroom on the fifth floor sits under a stained-glass ceiling approved by Tsar Nicholas II, and its terrace looks over the city skyline. Receptions of up to 250 guests can also move to L'Europe, whose Apollo stained-glass window and coloured-glass dome date from the early twentieth century. The Lidval Room offers a smaller setting for cocktails.
