While we track down the elusive W scent, there's one place you won't be smelling anytime soon--The W St. Petersburg, W's first location in Russia and in Eastern Europe.

Set to initially open on September 1, a commenter alerted us to a new opening date on the hotel's website--March 1, 2011. Now, how do you say "Bummer" in Russian?

Nevertheless, when the hotel opens in March it promises "spectacular views of St. Issac’s Cathedral" and a happening bar scene where "mingling and cocktails are the new social glasnost." (Note: fortunately the phrase "communist cool" is not found anywhere on the site.) You can also expect a terrace bar, a spa and a WET pool on-site.

Up in the guest rooms, things look rather modern and a bit flashy which we like. Amenities are still W standard including Bliss toiletries. But internet access has been listed as costing 750 rubles for 24 hours which works out to be $25 a day. For internet! Now we're truly afraid to see what these room rates look like!
