Saint Petersburg
As an events agency, PREFERENCE EVENTS offers you Saint Petersburg, a veritable museum city, for corporate trips and cultural and discovery incentive seminars.
When he built Saint Petersburg, Peter the Great wanted to rival the splendours of the capitals of old Europe. A veritable museum city, Saint Petersburg will dazzle you with its dozens of canals, its grandiose scenery, its sumptuous palaces and the priceless collections of the Hermitage Museum.
Long cut off from the Western world by the Soviet bloc, Saint Petersburg is now making up for lost time. The city is on the move, coming alive and developing. In the space of just two decades, the Venice of the North has become one of the hotspots of Russian nightlife. Extremely exotic and still little-known, cultural in essence and with little in the way of incentives, offering only medium-capacity, often prestigious hotels in its historic centre, Saint Petersburg seems to be best suited to organising executive committees, press trips, reward trips and prestige VIP trips. Company conventions and seminars are still possible, but will be accommodated in the larger hotels located away from the historic centre.
Saint Petersburg is a ‘museum city’ in full swing, a museum city to be discovered as a matter of urgency for ‘cultural’ and ‘discovery’ conventions and incentive seminars.
Accommodation in Saint Petersburg
The historic centre offers only medium-sized establishments reserved for the organisation of events involving small groups such as executive committees, press trips or prestigious VIP stays. Larger groups (seminars, conventions, general meetings) will have to move away from the centre of Saint Petersburg.
The Four Seasons St Petersburg, set in a 19th-century palace guarded by two marble lions and located in the centre of the historic district, is an exceptional palace worth the trip in itself. Ideal for organising small groups: press trips, board meetings, prestigious VIP stays…
Still in the historic centre, there are a number of luxury hotels (Hôtel de l’Europe, etc.) with VIP services, reserved for board meetings, reward trips or client trips.
Outside the historic centre of Saint Petersburg, a large number of 4 and 5-star hotels are perfectly suited to organising conventions and seminars.
