BELMOND GRAND HOTEL EUROPE
WHERE EVERY EVENT IS A GREAT OCCASION
STEP INSIDE OUR STORY
Entering Belmond Grand Hotel Europe is an occasion in itself. This heritage building’s
spectacular interiors are redolent with echoes of fabulous gatherings staged for some
of the past century’s most renowned personalities. The last Russian emperor, Nicholas II,
entertained the King of Siam in the Krysha Ballroom, while Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky and
even the infamous Grigori Rasputin visited the hotel with friends.
And yet at Belmond Grand Hotel Europe we wear our history lightly because the present
and the future are equally significant. We continue to host some of Russia’s greatest
occasions — and the most important event that we are planning now is yours.
BELMOND GRAND HOTEL EUROPE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL VENUE FOR CONFERENCES AND LARGE BUSINESS GATHERINGS—UNIQUELY
EQUIPPED TO MAKE EVERY OCCASION A RESOUNDING SUCCESS.

L’Europe has been hosting grand occasions for more than a century. St Petersburg’s celebrated restaurant can be transformed into your private ballroom, illuminated by the magnificent stained-glass window of Apollo in his chariot.
As you step inside the ballroom’s luminous, art nouveau interior, it is intriguing to picture one of its most infamous guests, Grigori Rasputin, being trailed around the decorative alcoves by a posse of secret agents. This is just one of many stories that augment the rich personality of this glorious room. Other, more decorous chapters in its life and times include receptions for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Bill Clinton and the Oscar-winning film director Nikita Mikhalkov. And, on one notable occasion, Elton John was inspired to give a spontaneous concert here.
The uplifting atmosphere of L’Europe ballroom makes it ideal for full-scale banquets and dinner dances, while the upper balconies are the perfect setting for private dinner parties.
