Crowne Plaza St. Petersburg Ligovsky Hotel

Of the several new hotels that have recently been opened in the area around Moscow Railway Station, the Crowne Plaza St. Petersburg Ligovsky is the most luxurious, and has proved the most highly rated with visitors.

Opened in 2011, the Crowne Plaza Ligovsky is a new-built hotel on Ligovsky Prospekt, around 200m from the station's front entrance and Nevsky Prospekt, St. Petersburg's main central thoroughfare. The Crowne Plaza Ligovsky Hotel has 195 guest rooms and suites, all combining discretely elegant designs with a full range of up-to-date technical amenities including complimentary wired and wireless Internet. The 4-star amenities at the hotel include a small but well-equipped fitness centre open 24-hour, five attractively decorated meeting rooms, a business centre offering a full spectrum of support services, and friendly and attentive English-speaking staff, with particular praise reserved for the Crowne Plaza's well informed and hard-working concierges.

Although Ligovsky Prospekt is not the most attractive area of St. Petersburg's historic downtown, it has a rich history that rewards exploration, and the many conveniences of the Crowne Plaza St Petersburg Ligovsky's location include access to two metro stations via Moscow Railway Station, a large shopping centre with supermarket just across the road, and numerous 24-hour bars and restaurants nearby. Although it is possible to reach the "Golden Triangle" of St. Petersburg's major visitor attractions in little over 20 minutes on foot, very convenient public transport links provide very fast access to sights such as the Hermitage Museum and St. Isaac's Cathedral.
