St. Petersburg, Russia (Perfect Travel Today)7\/8\/13\/–After two centuries one of the most exclusive residences in St. Petersburg \u201cHouse with Lions\u201d originally built in the elite neighborhood of the Winter Palace has been reborn as the Four Seasons Hotel Lion Palace St. Petersburg. The beautiful 19th<\/sup> century palace property is located next to St. Isaac\u2019s Cathedral and both buildings were designed by the architect Auguste Montferrand. The historic fashionable address was immortalized in Alexander Pushkin\u2019s 1833 poem \u201cThe Bronze Horseman\u201d, which lends a romantic Russian aura to the glamorous new hotel featuring futuristic hospitality amenities, including accommodations, inspired dining and drinking concepts, and the city\u2019s most sumptuous spa.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYears of meticulous restoration and perfecting of the guest experience are setting the stage for a new era of style and luxury in St. Petersburg ,\u201d says Christopher Norton, who is President \u2013 Europe, Middle East and Africa for Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dining at the hotel offers guests a sampling of Russia \u2019s rich culinary history, along with European and Asian cuisines, representing the celebration of a new chapter at Four Seasons House of Lions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xander Bar, Named for Tsar Alexander I, who reigned at the time of the palace\u2019s construction, offers Zakuski<\/i> (appetizers) served with dozens of the finest Russian and international vodkas, along with vodka tasting. The caviar menu includes Prestige Cuvee Cristal Champagne, created by Louis Roederer for Tsar Alexander II in 1876.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four Seasons Hotel Lion Palace will reveal Sintoho<\/b>, a fresh take on Asian cuisine named for Singapore , Tokyo and Hong Kong \u2013 just three of the destinations inspiring its cuisine. Included is an open sushi counter that sets the tone for eclectic menu choices paired with classic cocktails, sakes, beers and teas. Private events are welcomed in their teppanyaki grill room. Later this year, Michelin-starred Executive Chef Andrea Accordi<\/b> will take guests on a journey through his Italian homeland at Percorso. \u201cEvery country cooks the same ingredient differently. To be successful in the kitchen, it\u2019s important to understand this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In late 2013, Four Seasons will open the city\u2019s most intimate spa enclave. The Luceo Spa<\/b> will offer eight treatment rooms \u2013 including a deluxe couple\u2019s suite with private lounge \u2013 a salon, 24-hour fitness centre, and a glass-topped year round pool.
