Every room in the hotel has a different shape due to the complicated nature of the building architecture.

The hotel is located in the centre of the city, at 3 Mayakovskogo ul., 100 metres from Nevsky Prospect.

[citation needed] The Novotel Saint Petersburg Centre complex was constructed in 2004, part of a municipal renovation project known as 'Quartier (city block) 130'.

Two such spaces were sold to Accor Hotels, and a two-building complex was built.

The Quartier 130 ensemble draws largely from classical Italian architecture, Renaissance being one of the main themes.
