New Year at Wawelberg: A Festive Season in the Heart of St Petersburg

Previous

Whether celebrating New Year with family, enjoying a romantic holiday for two or gathering with close friends in one of the world’s most beautiful cities, guests can create their own festive experience at Wawelberg. The five-star Wawelberg is located in a historic building at the beginning of Nevsky Prospekt, just steps from Palace Square.

Behind its monumental exterior are 80 elegant rooms, where St Petersburg’s architectural heritage meets contemporary design, smart technology and comfort. Each room at Wawelberg has its own character, shaped by the historic building and its distinctive layout. All rooms feature modern amenities, including a smart home system controlled via an iPad and an interactive service ordering system.

On the hotel’s top floor, rooms open onto spacious terraces overlooking the historic city centre, its architectural landmarks and Nevsky Prospekt. In 2026, Wawelberg unveiled a new two-storey penthouse beneath a glass dome, offering panoramic views and a setting for special occasions.

One Hotel, Three Ways to Celebrate the New Year

For families with children, the New Year holidays at Wawelberg are a chance to spend time together: enjoying cosy evenings and leisurely breakfasts, exploring festive St Petersburg and taking part in seasonal events at the hotel, while its team takes care of the details.

For couples, the hotel offers a chance to experience the atmosphere of St Petersburg in winter, with the privacy of elegant suites, unhurried breakfasts, dining experiences and views of the city illuminated for the holidays. Rooms with private terraces on the top floor provide a setting for a romantic getaway, while the new two-storey penthouse overlooking the historic centre offers a place to welcome the New Year together.

For groups of friends, Wawelberg offers an opportunity to turn the holiday season into a tradition, with dinners, long conversations over breakfast, cultural discoveries and walks through the winter city.

For those who prefer intimate celebrations with their closest companions, the panoramic penthouse provides a setting for a special occasion overlooking St Petersburg. The festive dining experience continues with the signature cuisine of Minerals restaurant and leisurely breakfasts at Atrio.

A Festive Programme to Remember

Wawelberg’s festive programme brings together the spirit of St Petersburg’s social life, family traditions and cultural experiences. 

On 31 December, the historic Wawelberg Hall will take guests back almost to the beginning of the 20th century. “The Great Night” combines a festive dinner with an immersive show. A jazz band will recreate the atmosphere of New York’s private clubs in the 1920s, setting the tone for the evening, while guests will be invited to become part of the unfolding story.

On 3 January, younger guests are invited to a New Year’s celebration with games, a fairy-tale performance and a festive buffet.

On 7 January, the hotel will host a Christmas choral concert, a Wawelberg tradition that fills its historic interiors with music and the spirit of the season.

For the holidays, the hotel’s pastry chefs will also create a collection of signature desserts and sweet gifts for family gatherings, festive tables or a thoughtful gesture for someone special.

Wawelberg invites guests to celebrate the New Year in the heart of festive St Petersburg and make the first days of 2027 the beginning of a story they will want to return to.
