Hotel Alexander House, Sankt Petersburg

Beschreibung: Hotel Alexander House

Alexander House features the exclusive relaxed atmosphere Alexander Zhukov and his family wanted to create when they decided to open their own family-run small boutique hotel. They do not advertise the hotel as such; this allows guests to feel absolutely relaxed and gives Hotel Alexander House its particular club-like atmosphere. They do not have even the name Hotel Alexander House on the front door.

Each of the 19 rooms is different, and has its own particular character. The water in the rooms is both clean and safe to drink and all have heating in the winter, and air-conditioner for the summer months. Most feature beautiful views of the Kryukov Canal, the Fontanka River and both the Nikolsky and Troitsky cathedrals.

Alexander House is in an historical area of St Petersburg where heroes of the books of Gogol, Pushkin and Dostoevsky used to live. It is only a 20 minute walk to Nevsky Prospect. Alexander House is a short distance from Theatre Square (site of the Mariinsky Theatre and the Conservatory) and can be reached either through Theatre Square, and along Kryukov Canal Embankment, or along the Fontanka River Embankment, at the corner with Kryukov Canal by car.

The elegant building was built at the beginning of the 19th century for a prosperous St Petersburg merchant. During the reconstruction, the owners spent a lot of time making sure that they were restoring the building as close as possible back to its original appearance. For example, they found the original architect's drawings and used the design of the shutters - which give the hotel a very European look.
