The hotel complex is located in the historical centre of Peterhof close to the Upper Garden of the world-famous palace ensemble. This area is recognized as the UNESCO world heritage site and therefore is subject to strict height regulations. The presence of St. Peter and Paul cathedral in Old Russian style (1905) and the four wooden houses of the former Nikita Khrushchev’s residence also imposed a most sensitive-to-the-site approach.

The complex is composed of six buildings. One-storey platform unites them into a single space. The platform houses most of the hotel services and facilities. Its landscaped roof is interpreted as an internal street, or a hanging garden with trees, lawns and small skylights providing light downwards into the hotel lobby. The street axis is oriented towards the St. Peter and Paul Cathedral. 8 m gaps between the buildings are filled with lawn-like ramps. The latter visually diminishes the rather spacious hotel territory, while the three overground storeys of the hotel wings resemble the classical composition of historical park pavilions. Park atmosphere, the combination of natural stone and timber in the finishing of the facades, as well as the location of the two storeys of the hotel below ‘ground’ make the entire complex a statement of eco-architecture.

Historical structures of the former Nikita Khrushchev’s residence were renovated and integrated into the complex.
