Located at the intersection of the Fontanka river embankment and the Nevsky Prospect, the palace was built in the midle of the 19th century for the affluent aristocratic family of Beloselsky-Belozersky. Designed in stylized Russian baroque and Empire styles, the palace nowadays houses the city\'s public cultural center and is known as one of the most beautiful residences of St.Petersburg.

Equipment ***
* As the chairs in the Glass Hall are screwed to the floor, the other set up style is not possible.
** The Oak room can seat up to 300, but only 120 chairs are available.
*** Because the palace has no conference equipment of its own, the conference organizers face with the problem of renting it (and the furniture too!) with some specialized agency.
