Russia Travel Guide In large Russian cities, especially Moscow and St. Petersburg, visitors have a range of options for accommodations, although not as many as you might expect for a country this size. Hotels include Western chains that are four- or five-star (with accompanying prices), as well as smaller hotels that are reasonably priced, clean and in good locations for tourist sites. Sometimes your hotel will be able to arrange your visa for you, and often can provide transportation from the airport, rail station or dock.
Intourist is now a joint stock company but in Soviet times was the state-owned travel agency with a monopoly over the tourist industry. There are still Intourist hotels around Russia and other CIS countries and they are trying to escape their dreary planned-economy interior decorating, but not always successfully. Intourist can book hotel rooms for you in St. Petersburg, Moscow and elsewhere in Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG
Book your rooms as soon as you can, because St. Petersburg's hotels are having a hard time keeping up with the two million annual visitors.
Book your rooms through a reputable travel service, such as a travel agency or online service that you trust. If you need the type of comfort that you would find at home, customer service, and lots of amenities that separate you from the world outside, stay in a top-ranked hotel. If you don't mind that things aren't like at home and can make do with some inconvenience or bad decorating, a lower-ranked hotel will work for you. You should make a choice based on your budget, proximity to tourist sites, and flexibility.
The RussianGuideNetwork has reviews by an American for large and small hotels in St. Petersburg, along with practical information (such as whether staff speak English) and photos.
For more reviews and online booking see:

Expedia St. Petersburg hotel list
Apartments
You can rent apartments in St. Petersburg that are equipped with modern furnishings and are ideally located for tourism. Short-term and long-term rentals are possible, with prices as low as US $55 (45 Euro) per night.
Roxana Apartments Apartments are near Nevsky Prospekt and the historical center.
Lodging SPB Apartments range from elite (most expensive) to budget.
MOSCOW
Moscow's hotel choices have certainly improved in the last decade and they will continue to expand. The situation is similar to St. Petersburg's, with demand encroaching on supply.

Click it and you'll be whisked off to that country's map and essentials page, listing all the resources on this site for that country, including tourist destinations, pictures, rail maps, and information that tourists need to be informed: languages, eating out, tipping, weather, and transportation. The red circle on the left represents a distance of 200 miles from the center to the circle's edge. The diameter of the circle represents 400 miles of course, and that's 643.6 kilometers. Position your mouse over the center of the circle (until it changes into a hand) and you can drag it over the map to get a closer approximation of distances.
