The 4-star Lancaster Court Hotel promises modern comforts and cosy accommodation in one of Russia's most grand and exciting cities. Located a kilometre from Vyborgskaya metro station, and only 5km from the city centre, the hotel affords easy access to St Petersburg's incredible sights. Conceived and built by Peter the Great in the 18th century, the city has one of the largest museums in the world - the Heritage - along with wonderful architecture and gardens. There are also many shops and local curiosities to discover. The hotel occupies a handsome, somewhat gothic, property that aspires towards a traditional English style of design and hospitality. Through the use of custom-made furniture, stained glass windows and carefully selected miscellany, the hotel has succeeded in creating a facsimile of Victorian England, supported by warm and friendly staff who are happy to answer any queries. There is also free Wi-Fi throughout the premises
