St. Petersburg Hotels

St. Petersburg Hotels Russia - Cityresorthotels.com is a simple hotel booking site for many hotels in St. Petersburg and hotels in Russia. St. Petersburg has been dubbed the Venice of the North for its palace-lined waterways. It managed to escape the architectural incursions of Stalinism and its grandiose relics of tsarist days are virtually intact. Sculpted by islands and the sinuous Neva River, the city is a geometric vista of orderly elegance. St Petersburg was built on a grand scale, with palaces and boulevards designed to be viewed from afar, and bold symmetry embracing the whole. The city sprawls across and around the mouth of the Neva River, at the end of the easternmost arm of the Baltic Sea. The Neva splits the city into northern, eastern and southern sectors. The area spreading back from the Winter Palace and the Admiralty on the south bank is the city's heart, and Nevsky Prospekt is its main artery.
