Alexander House is in an historical area of St Petersburg where heroes of the books of Gogol, Pushkin and Dostoevsky used to live. It is only a 20 minute walk to Nevsky Prospect. Alexander House is a short distance from Theatre Square (site of the Mariinsky Theatre and the Conservatory) and can be reached either through Theatre Square, and along Kryukov Canal Embankment, or along the Fontanka River Embankment, at the corner with Kryukov Canal by car.
The elegant building was built at the beginning of the 19th century for a prosperous St Petersburg merchant. During the reconstruction, the owners spent a lot of time making sure that they were restoring the building as close as possible back to its original appearance. For example, they found the original architect's drawings and used the design of the shutters - which give the hotel a very European look.
