Antique Hotel Rachmaninov comments Add Yours

• Miller Family 30 April 2010
  That was our first visit to Russia, Saint-Petersburg and we were very excited! Our Russian daughter (our son’s wife) was born here. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to visit such a wonderful city! We were looking for a hotel near the center, so it would be convenient to see all the sights. Looking through the big list of hotels, we noticed this hotel with the melodious name, “Rachmaninov”. Our family knows this great composer very well, and since he immigrated to America and lived there for 15 years we proudly acknowledge him as an American composer as well.Our week in Saint-Petersburg was magnificent! Our stay in the hotel was perfect as well.It felt like living in the beginning of the 20th century. The interior design reflects that epoch really well. The architecture was very old fashioned and was full of antique things. But the most amazing thing about our stay was that we lived in the museum, in Rachmaninov’s memorial room. We were amazed how the hotel’s owners drew a line between music and painting. Famous artists, our contemporaries listening to Rachmaninov’s music and sensing him, reflected their feelings and emotions, using the hotel’s doors as canvases of their paintings. And we could See Rachmaninov and all his passion through that. Amazing that it’s not only about hotel’s interior design. There is a painting exhibition in the hall of the hotel where you can find works by modern conceptual artists. You also can buy them for your home collection. Sometimes in the evenings we would sit in the guest room and would play grand piano with great pleasure.We would like to thank the administration of the hotel for the atmosphere of the old Saint-Petersburg that they give to their guests.Miller Family, AZ, USA
