The Art of Hospitality

In this article, we explain and demonstrate through our own example what goes into a five-star level.

We explain what happens in the first few minutes after entering, what is in the lobby, and why one of the doors here leads to a 19th-century museum.

The path from the first email to the coffee break fits into five steps: briefing, venue selection and estimate, contract, finalizing the details, event day.

The choice of venue is based not on square footage, but on the day’s itinerary: how many guests will attend, what activities will take place in the room, how often the setup will change, and where the food will be located throughout the event.

In the center of St. Petersburg, weddings are held in palace halls, on riverboats, in restaurants and lofts, at country estates, and in hotels.

A suite is a top-category room in which the bedroom is separated from the living room.

In autumn, a new theater season opens in St. Petersburg, major exhibitions operate, and concerts sound, while there are fewer tourists in the city.

An evening in the center of St. Petersburg can be spent in many ways: take a stroll along the illuminated Nevsky Prospect and embankments, have dinner at a restaurant with a view of the city, set sail on a boat, or buy a ticket to the theater.

The Samoylov Actors' Memorial Apartment Museum is located within the walls of Corinthia Hotel St. Petersburg at 57 Nevsky Prospect.
