The State Hermitage Museum Official Hotel

There’s a major perk for staying at The State Hermitage Museum Official Hotel: Guests get free transfer and pre-booked tickets for The Hermitage, bypassing an often two-hour line at Russia’s greatest museum. The other perk is the royal treatment you’ll receive at this brand new hotel. Modeled after the Winter Palace portion of The Hermitage, where Russian monarchs resided until the Bolshevik revolution, there is no shortage of decadent details. Rooms feature handmade furniture by Florentine woodwork master Savio Firmino and bathrooms made from Greek and Italian marble. Downstairs, pick up a Fabergé-designed brooch at the hotel’s diamond boutique.
