Alexander House Hotel

A small hotel with character and class, the Alexander House Hotel provides deluxe accommodation and a very good range of services at a charming location close to the Mariisnky Theatre.

Opened in 2003 by a local journalist and his family, the Alexander House offers 14 rooms, each individually designed to reflect the character of a famous city. Among a wealth of delightful design details there are numerous items made by the hotel's in-house carpenter. The hotel also has several pleasant public spaces, including a cozy bar-cafe, a well stocked and very comfortable library with open fire in winter, and a charming garden that's a great place for breakfast in the summer. Despite its size and homely atmosphere, the Alexander House offers a great range of services, including two spaces that can be used to host small meetings, and a Russian bathhouse and spa. The Alexander House gets particularly fulsome praise for its attentive and extremely helpful multilingual staff.

Situated on the banks of the Kryukov Canal, the Alexander House Hotel is only 10 minutes' walk from the Mariinsky Opera and Ballet Theatre. Major attractions like St. Isaacs Cathedral and the Hermitage can easily be reached by bus in less than 20 minutes, and the hotel is also right next to the beautiful baroque St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral.
