Suite Dreams: Rocco Forte's Hotel Astoria Unveils Czar Suite

The completion of the Czar's Suite marks the culmination of a multi-million pound refurbishment, also creating 50 junior suites, in celebration of Hotel Astoria's centenary.

Olga Polizzi, Director of Design, Rocco Forte Hotels, explains, “As with all of our properties, the Czar's Suite will reflect its location in the heart of St Petersburg. We have created a contemporary Russian feel with a nod to the city's fascinating heritage by using an eclectic mix of authentic Russian art and antiques, original parquet flooring along with more modern elements including rugs with bold constructive geometric patterns, silk wallpapers and contemporary classic pieces."
