From the miXup Bar on the 8th floor, guests have a view of St. Isaac’s Cathedral, and the Hermitage Museum with its vast array of art treasures is just a few steps away. Opened in June 2011, this W Hotel is ideally located in the center of St. Petersburg. Inspired by the Fabergé eggs of the czars, architect Antonio Citterio and his partners created a modern design world with extravagant light installations. New facets are revealed to guests with every step. The main difference can be found in the typical W vibe: lively, hip, and a little “bling bling.”
