Wake-up to Palace Square: Where to Stay for Early Access

Palace Square — Historical Site

Staying within a minute's walk of Palace Square means waking up to the sound of street performers and the sight of the iconic Admiralty Building. You can watch the changing of the guard at 12:00 PM, but by staying close, you can see the ceremonial preparations at 7:00 AM, a unique experience that's not to be missed. Check live rates for hotels near Palace Square to find the best fit for your budget and preferences.

Our Picks

Palatial Luxury
Na Naberezhnoj Reki Mojki 9 Apartments — at 0.0 km, it's a 3-minute walk to the Palace Square's main entrance, and the apartment's lavish decor is fit for royalty. However, at €400/night, you're paying for the address, not the room.

Compact Convenience
Apartamenty u m.Moskovskie vorota — located 0.1 km away, these apartments offer a no-frills experience at a lower price point of €150/night. Keep in mind that the rooms are smaller than expected.

Value for Money
RentHaus (RentHouse) — with prices starting at €80/night, RentHaus offers the best value for budget-conscious travelers who still want to be within walking distance to Palace Square (0.1 km). Be aware that the building has a strict noise policy.
