The enigmatic capital letter on a sentence yet unwritten. Perhaps ours began in 1976, when a charismatic entrepreneur purchased the CIPRIANI, Venice’s most glamorous hideaway. Perhaps it began when he decided to reinvent the world’s most romantic train that same year, so the hotel’s illustrious guests could arrive in style. Perhaps it began even earlier. Maybe when Michelangelo decorated the façade of a monastery in the Tuscan hills of Fiesole, or with a clandestine meeting between Rasputin and St Petersburg’s high society. Perhaps it began with HIRAM BINGHAM finding a route back to the lost city of the Incas. Perhaps in the beginning there was nothing, and a nameless voice said “let there be light.” Then they brought the canapés. Our beginning is wrapped in legend and secret; pioneering firsts and time- tested traditions. Perfumed secrets in ancient palaces and jewel-coloured fireworks on a golden beach. Champagne was definitely involved. Each of these fabled yesterdays weave into the adventure of today. Follow BELMOND to 46 unforgettable travel experiences peppered across the world’s most celebrated destinations.

    Welcome to Belmond Grand Hotel Europe We’ve enchanted Russia’s high society for more than a century. Now, it’s your turn. CHAPTER ONE Discover St Petersburg Stroll along canals flowing with history and into a city rich in culture and revolutionary spirit. Russia’s imperial capital never ceases to amaze Legend has it that in 1703, while boating on the River Neva, Peter the Great saw an eagle flying over Zayachy Island. Taking it as an omen, he laid the foundation stone for the Peter and Paul Fortress and what would fulfill his vision of a European city. In the 300 years since Peter opened the ‘window on the west’, this Venice of the North has had many faces. A magnificent city reflecting the majesty of the Russian Empire, it became the so-called cradle of the revolution under Lenin. During World War II it was a symbol of national pride. Today, it is Russia’s cultural capital, in which awe-inspiring architecture, grand palaces and vast museums reflect the city’s unique heritage. Nestled among the most celebrated landmarks on Nevsky Prospekt, Belmond Grand Hotel Europe serves as a time capsule of Russia’s illustrious past and a gateway into St Petersburg’s exciting present. Drawing guests from across the world for more than 140 years, we’re the first port of call for your Russian adventure. There’s treasure around every corner.
