About this hotel
Diplomat Hotel pairs a genuinely upscale restaurant and bar on site with a full business centre, a combination that suits both a client dinner and a working day without leaving the property. The three-minute walk to Ante seafood and bar adds a second dining option nearby for an evening out. The airport shuttle covers the 34-minute run to Pulkovo, comfortably within the district's shorter range, and accessible rooms widen who the property genuinely works for. Free Wi-Fi, parking at an extra charge and full-service laundry round out a hotel built for a corporate traveller who still wants a proper meal and a decent night's sleep between meetings, a detail worth weighing before booking a longer stay here.

Our take
I would book Diplomat Hotel for a business trip when you want an upscale restaurant and a business centre at one address, with a shuttle covering a reasonably short run to Pulkovo. The accessible rooms are another real plus. If you are travelling on a tight budget, the simpler properties on this list fit better, given its more premium positioning.
- Book the on-site restaurant for a client dinner rather than venturing out, given its genuinely upscale reputation.
- Confirm the airport shuttle pickup the night before any flight leaving before eight in the morning.
- Walk to Ante seafood and bar for a second dining option if the hotel restaurant is fully booked.
Why we love it
- A genuinely upscale restaurant and bar on site
- A full business centre for working travellers
- An airport shuttle for the 34-minute run south
- Accessible rooms at a four-star standard
Why guests love itDiplomat Hotel is a four-star stay with an upscale restaurant and bar, a business centre, accessible rooms and an airport shuttle. Ante seafood and bar is a 3-minute walk, and Pulkovo is 34 minutes by taxi. With 9.2 from 306 reviews, I read it as a polished, well-rounded choice. I would pick it for a business trip or a dinner out before a flight, not for a bare-bones budget night.
