Within a leisurely stroll from Nevsky Prospect is the historic building of the Helvetia Hotel, with origins dating back to the early 19th century. The hotel’s interiors successfully combine St. Petersburg’s harmonious style with the elegance of European design. An inseparable part of the façade of impressive buildings along Marata Street, the Helvetia’s wrought-iron gates open onto a spacious, picturesque courtyard. The outside of the hotel, as viewed from the courtyard, gives the impression of a miniature medieval European town, with noble lines and a cheerful atmosphere of comfort and calm.

In late 2010, the Helvetia Hotel completed a major renovation project. Since Helvetia is housed in a nineteenth-century mansion protected as a national landmark, the reconstruction accurately preserved all the building’s historic architectural features. As a result, the hotel’s traditional elegance has been harmoniously enhanced by the latest technological solutions, and several new guest rooms have been added as well. Guests will be pleasantly surprised by the new furnishings with an accent on natural materials in beige and pearl-grey pastels.

Native Russian cordiality, coupled with Swiss traditions of cosiness and hospitality, individual attention to every guest and international service standards, are the distinguishing features of the Helvetia Hotel. Guests who stay in this bit of Switzerland right in the heart of St. Petersburg so often comment that they find the hotel and its personal service utterly charming.The Moscow Railway Station is just round the corner, and four nearby Metro stations give easy access to the city's three central underground lines.

All 75 rooms and passageways have been redone and upgraded to please the Helvetia’s sophisticated guests. The water and heating systems have been modernized; super-efficient Daikin air conditioning, individually controlled and completely noiseless, has been installed in all rooms.

Classic style dominates room design, accented by select-quality fabrics and stuccowork. The atmosphere of Old Petersburg has been recreated, though sharp-eyed observers will note some smart European features.

Talking about quiet surroundings, the Helvetia pays special attention to preventing unnecessary noise in the guestrooms, most of which overlook the hotel’s tranquil, Swiss-village courtyard. Despite the proximity to the city’s main boulevard, peace and quiet reign supreme.
