Conference Halls in the Centre of St Petersburg

For thirty years, the Corinthia St Petersburg has hosted business and formal events in the very heart of the city. Seventeen flexible halls on Nevsky Prospekt, a total capacity of up to a thousand guests and a team that knows event organisation down to the last detail.

The hotel hosts events of every scale, from private negotiations for eight people to international conferences and gala receptions beneath the vaulted ceilings of the ballroom.

Why conferences are entrusted to the Corinthia St Petersburg

• 7 times — “Russia’s Leading Conference Hotel”, World Travel Awards

• 4 times — “Russia’s Leading Business Hotel”, World Travel Awards

• 17 halls — flexible, with a total capacity of up to 1,000 guests

• 3–5 minutes on foot to the metro (Mayakovskaya, Ploshchad Vosstaniya), in the very heart of Nevsky Prospekt

The Corinthia St Petersburg is the only five-star hotel in the historic city centre to offer such a combination of guest rooms and event spaces under one roof. This means that the conference, accommodation for participants and the gala evening all take place in one place, with no transfers and no logistical compromises.

Our conference halls and capacity

Organisers have seventeen halls of different sizes at their disposal: from private meeting rooms to a ballroom that can host several hundred guests. Most halls are flexible — they can be combined for a plenary session or divided by partitions for parallel sessions.

Nevsky Ballroom

The heart of the conference complex: 535 m² beneath six-metre vaulted ceilings in an Art Deco setting. Movable partitions divide the hall into three separate spaces for parallel sessions or open it up into a single space for a plenary session, gala dinner or reception. Natural daylight, grand proportions and interiors that become part of the protocol themselves are why this hall is chosen for the most important events.

“St Petersburg” and “Admiralty” halls

Spacious halls for conferences, symposiums, presentations and formal banquets. Stylish interiors, professional equipment and attentive service make them one of the city’s most sought-after venues for high-level business events.

Meeting rooms

For private meetings, board meetings and confidential negotiations — intimate rooms with executive furniture, where confidentiality and status are ensured by the space itself.

Seating layouts

We choose the layout to suit the event scenario and help calculate the optimal capacity:

• Theatre — for conferences, presentations and plenary sessions, when you need to seat as many participants as possible.

• Classroom — for seminars and training programmes where participants take notes and work at tables.

• Boardroom — for negotiations, board meetings and strategy sessions.

• U-shape — for discussions and training sessions with active participant engagement.

• Banquet — for formal dinners, corporate evenings and ceremonies.

• Buffet / reception — for networking, social and business receptions.

Logistics and accommodation for participants

The main advantage of holding an event at a hotel is that participants don’t need to travel anywhere. The conference, accommodation and gala evening take place in one place, in the very centre of St Petersburg.

• a central location on Nevsky Prospekt, a few minutes’ walk from Mayakovskaya and Ploshchad Vosstaniya metro stations;

• a block of rooms for out-of-town participants at a corporate rate;
