Russian Candy

This week's Daily Candy Travel e-letter spotlights St. Petersburg, Russia.

Through the usual DC lexicon and banter, the letter recommends that you "set up camp in the old-world glamour" of Hotel Astoria in St. Issac's Square.

The hotel has all the features that are expected of a five-star hotel, a restaurant, a lobby bar and a Spa Centre by Clarins.

But the rates are a bit pricey at 280 Euros.

A cheaper stay can be found next door at the The Angleterre Hotel which bills itself as the "Only Western-managed Four-Star Hotel in St. Petersburg."

The hotel has a fitness center and more importantly a nightclub and casino adjacent.

Rates in the off-season, which ends in two weeks, start at 235 Euros.
