Fodor's Review:

The Astoria is actually two hotels: it connects with the older, slightly less luxurious Angleterre, whose enduring "fame" is thanks to the beloved poet Sergei Yesenin's suicide there in 1925. Built in art nouveau style between 1910 and 1912, the Astoria was one of St. Petersburg's most renowned hotels before the Revolution of 1917; despite protests by residents, the original structure was torn down in the early 1990s during the renovation that connected it to the Angleterre. Nevertheless, it's a magnificent hotel in downtown St. Petersburg, near the Hermitage. Antiques retrieved from various museums decorate the splendid interior. The restaurant Borsalino at the Angleterre affords memorable views of St. Isaac's Cathedral and a mere breakfast at the Astoria's Davidov restaurant costs $33.
