General description of the Hotel
The 'Arbat-Nord ' was opened on 1st. June 2003, and immediately achieved recognition amongst those who value a combination of high-quality service and home comforts.
The hospitality of the staff and impeccable service on the one hand, and convenient location on the other made the 'Arbat-Nord', soon after its opening, one of the most popular mini-hotels in St. Petersburg.

Its location in the heart of the city, its business centre and Internet connection are all appreciated by the city's guests, arriving either as tourists or on business.
The 'Arbat-Nord' tries to distinguish itself from other hotels by its 'non-mundane' appearance. Its unique atmosphere envelopes guests from the moment of their arrival - in place of the usual stoic porter is, guests find themselves in a comfortable 'old world' office, where they take pleasure in the striking of the clock while, at the same time meeting the hotel staff.
The Hotel's location

Not far from the hotel is 'Chernychevskaya' Metro station and the 'Vostannaya/ Mayakovsky' interchange. Only e few steps from the hotel is one of the city's most beautiful churches, the 'Saviour-Preobrazhensky' Cathedral, the former regimental church of the Preobrazhensky Guards. It was built in the middle of the 18th. Century, and rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th. Century. Surrounding the cathedral is a unique fence made of genuine Turkish cannons, brought by Russian forces from the Caususes at the time of the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829.
Less the 15 minutes' walk away is the equally famous Summer Garden, laid out one year after the founding of the city itself. Next to the Summer Garden is the Michaelovsky (Engineers') Castle (the former residence of Tsar Paul I). Also nearby are the Mars Field and the Marble Palace, from where you can walk along Millionaires' Street to the central square of the city - Winter Palace Square. In this way, the location of the hotel enables the visitor to take a pleasant walk through the artistic areas of the Northern Capital.
Those who come to St. Petersburg on business will undoubtedly notice the 'European House Business Centre' opposite the hotel, offering complete services for the business visitor.
All hotel visitors certainly appreciate the wonderful shops, restaurants and night-clubs to be found literally 5 minutes from the hotel along one of the city's main thoroughfares - Liteiny Prospect.
