A suite is a premium-category room where the bedroom is separated from the living area. While technically defined by a minimum size of 35 m² and two living spaces, the true value of a suite lies beyond mere square footage: having a second room gives you the flexibility to host guests, work while someone else sleeps, or dine at a table — allowing you to live comfortably without being confined to a single room dominated by a bed.
At the Corinthia St. Petersburg hotel (located at 57 Nevsky Prospekt), suites range in size from 45 to 270 m². Below, we break down the differences between the various suite categories and what to look for when making your choice.
How a suite differs from a standard room or a deluxe room
Standard and deluxe rooms share the same basic layout: a single room containing a bed, a workspace, and a seating area. The differences lie in size, finishes, and the view — which is perfectly adequate for a two- or three-night stay.
A suite changes the layout entirely. With the living area separate from the bedroom, a morning phone call won't wake your partner, late-night conversations don't have to move to the lobby, and suitcases don't clutter the sleeping area. Premium suites also feature more spacious bathrooms, and the largest ones include a second restroom for guests. The experience extends beyond the room itself, too: in most hotels, booking a suite grants access to additional privileges.
Suite, Junior Suite, Apartment: what the names mean
Hotel websites can be confusing when it comes to room names, even though there is a clear system behind them.
Junior Suite — a room of at least 25 m²; it consists of a single room, but the space is zoned into a sleeping area, a seating area with a sofa, and a workspace. It represents a step up from a standard room to a suite.
Suite — at least 35 m² with two living areas: a bedroom and a separate living room.
Apartment — at least 40 m², featuring two rooms and kitchen facilities. This option is designed for long-stay guests who wish to prepare their own meals.
Suite (Premium/Grand) — the top tier: at least 75 m² with three living areas — typically a living room, a bedroom, and a study — plus a separate guest bathroom.
Beyond this, we enter the hotel's unique room designations. Presidential, Royal, and Signature suites are specific names for individual rooms rather than standard classification categories. These names indicate that there is only one (or perhaps two) such room in the hotel and that it features a custom-designed interior.
Corinthia St. Petersburg Suites: From 45 to 270 m²
The hotel features 388 rooms across sixteen categories, with the top-tier options arranged in a clear hierarchy.
The Deluxe Junior Suite spans 40 m², features a pastel color palette, and accommodates up to three guests, offering a sofa in addition to the bed. The Executive Junior Suite offers 51 m² of classic-style elegance, complete with a marble bathroom and a Nespresso coffee machine.
The suites proper start at 45 m². The Courtyard View Suite overlooks a quiet inner courtyard, shielded from the noise of the avenue — an ideal choice if you value a peaceful sleep undisturbed by city sounds. The St. Petersburg View Suite, offering the same amount of space, looks out over the historic city center; some of these suites feature balconies, making them the perfect spot to experience the "White Nights" without ever leaving the hotel.
Next come two 65 m² suites overlooking Nevsky Prospect: the Nevsky Suite, featuring a spacious bedroom and a large bathroom, and the Signature Suite, which boasts a unique interior design. Rounding out the list are the 126 m² Presidential Suite, complete with a grand living room, and the 270 m² Royal Suite — the hotel’s largest accommodation.
What’s included in a suite stay
Staying in a suite also means enjoying an elevated level of service.
Guests staying in Executive rooms and suites have access to the Executive Lounge, open daily from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM. It features a workspace and a meeting table, along with refreshments and snacks — a convenient spot to catch up on emails between meetings, wait for check-in, or have a quiet conversation while your room is being serviced.
Room service is available around the clock, so breakfast in your suite’s living room or a post-midnight dinner is just a phone call away. Our concierge service can handle tickets, restaurant reservations, and car arrangements for the time you need. Let us know the reason for your trip, and we will help you select the right suite category and explain what is included in your chosen rate.
When to choose a suite
There are several occasions when having a second room proves its worth from the very first evening.
A special occasion. Whether it’s an anniversary, a milestone celebration, or a marriage proposal, the living room transforms into a space for dining and hosting loved ones, while the bedroom remains a private sanctuary.
A long trip. When staying at the hotel for a week or more, the difference between one room and two is felt daily: you have a dedicated space to work and a quiet spot for dinner.
A family trip. The sofa in the living room converts into a third sleeping area, allowing your child to fall asleep behind a closed door while the adults continue to chat.
Business travel. A suite allows you to host a partner or colleague without leaving your room, while meetings involving larger groups can be moved to the hotel’s meeting rooms.
