A R R I V I N G AT T H E S T. P E T E R S B O U R G H O T E L was the start of a new adventure. In this favourite port-of-call for my great-uncle Alexander, the warmth of antique furniture, oriental carpets and plush arm-chairs extended their invitation to sit back and relax. At the heart of one of northern Europe’s most fascinating cities, the hotel’s timeless elegance and gracious welcome already held the promise of a memorable stay. The perfect base for discovering Tallinn’s historic atmosphere, modern business center and sightseeing attractions.
THE GLEAM O F C R Y S T A L and sparkling silverware, the crisp and impeccable table linen in the hotel’s main restaurant beckoned invitingly from the lobby and bar. Over imaginative and beautifully presented meals, I could contemplate the view of medieval buildings while lingering over a selection of fine wines and Champagne. A mellow atmosphere, where the patina of time cradles the modern traveller, just like European aristocrats before him, in a reverie of sheer contentment.
THE COMFORT AND HARMONY of the St. Petersbourg Hotel are welcome reminders of the good things in life. Epicurean offerings are paralleled by attentive service, light snacks and beverages from the bar, a full valet service and 24-hour reception. And after a perfect day wandering through the town’s cobbled streets and enchanting parks, I was delighted to discover a special treat: a traditional Estonian restaurant. Pork knuckles and cold Estonian beer was just what I needed.
AT T H E E N D O F T H E D AY, my ultimate pleasure was to retire with my travel journal to the glowing serenity of my room. Its simple elegance with a hint of Art-Deco stylishness was complemented by airiness, high ceilings and tasteful, sunny fabrics. The ideal place to recall the day’s discoveries, already imprinted in my mind, like so many echoes of childhood tales.
A T T H E C R O S S R O A D S of Baltic, German and Russian influences, the old town of Tallinn is a rare blend of northern European history, culture and architecture. The large Town-hall Square and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral are sheltered by ancient towers and sturdy walls dating back to the 14th century. And its most elegant hotel, the St. Petersbourg, is warmly appreciated by discerning guests for its traditional service and discreet sophistication.
