Parking

The hotel has a parking lot: 200₽ per hour or 2000₽ per day. When you're checking out, they'll calculate the final cost. I wanted to avoid paying, so we parked our car outside the hotel on the same street. The car was visible from the window, and parking was free.

One of the standout features of this hotel is the rooftop restaurant La Vue, which offers panoramic views of the city. I also loved the Meeting Point lobby bar, and the Galaxy Beauty Institute is conveniently located in the same building.

The corridors are long, but there are plenty of rooms – I'm talking hundreds. Thankfully, the 7 elevators make it easy to get around without waiting too long.

Breakfast

We hadn't booked breakfast, but it was available for an extra 1400 rubles per person. Kids under 7 ate for free.

We went for a nighttime stroll along the Liteiny Bridge and embankment. By the way, the bridge is infested with spiders, so it's best not to lean on it.
