Excellent location, historic building! Our weekend there was lovely! Great Christmas decoration and atmosphere! More

First, the good: - Ideally located (as well as any other hotel in the city), right on the historic Moika river - Generally good service (but with a caveat -- see below) - A historic building -- this was an 18th century palace of St. Petersburg's first governor, subsequently owned by Eliseyev, one of imperial Russia's most famous merchants; in...

We had a fantastic stay at the Taleon, I highly recommend it. Natalia (concierge) was one of the best concierges that I've worked with, ever. Rodian (butler) was also excellent, as were all the ladies at the front desk. I had tons of restaurant resv and they were patient and accommodating. All places were great...Tsar (went twice, which I have... More

The Taleon Imperial Hotel was a wonderful experience. The staff were extremely helpful and took great care of us. The rooms were divine. Linens were perfect and the amenities were top notch. The location was perfect. It's right on Novensky Prospect and walkable to the Hermtage, the Marinsky Theater, the Blood Church and other lovely attractions. More

Excellent location, very good service. Hotel condition is also very good, just like it's recently built. Staying in a palace is an interesting experience. And just as others say, the consierge is really very helpful with everything. More

Great location. Excellent concierge. Business lunch was a great value, excellent meal, and a beautiful view of the city. Concierge arranged excellent transportation and tours. Highly recommend. More

The hotel is designed around themes of pre-Soviet nobility with authentic paintings and antiques. We booked two rooms (one standard and one deluxe) which were tastefully appointed and spacious. They were both on the fifth floor, but we had to navigate the maze of turns to get from one to the other. It can be quite confusing, but the works... More
