Hotel Baltschug, Moscow
For your stay in Moscow, the Hotel Baltschug, which celebrates its 15th birthday this year, is a real grande dame of a hotel. Situated on the banks of the Moskva River, the hotel overlooks St. Basel’s Cathedral, Red Square and the Kremlin. Considered one of the best hotel locations in the entire city, you and your beau can set off on chauffeured tours of the city, cross the bridge to ice skate in Red Square (in the winter) or grab a seat at a sidewalk café outside the city’s ultra-luxe GUM department store and simply people-watch. For ultimate romance, request a stay in the hotel’s Linley or Princess suites – both were designed by British Royals. For dinner, the on-site Restaurant Baltschug, which features an incredible view of the city lights, is an experience all its own. Order a bottle of the finest French champagne or Russian vodka, feed each other beluga caviar on homemade blinis and feast on haute Russian cuisine.

Moika 22, St. Petersburg
Newlyweds can indulge in total pampering in the great city of enlightenment, built by Peter the Great, while soaking up the vast cultural offerings of St. Petersburg – most notably, the world-famous Hermitage, which you’ll be able to see from the window of your suite! Situated on the edge of one of the city’s picturesque canals, this hotel is the perfect romantic retreat after a day spent experiencing the likes of Rembrandt and Da Vinci. After an afternoon of sightseeing, grab a spot of English tea (with a distinctly Russian flair) in the hotel’s Tea Room, or retire to the Von Witte Bar, and curl up together on a cozy leather loveseat beside a roaring fire, with a selection from the hotel’s extensive cognac list. Come dinnertime, the city’s best table is on the hotel’s 9th floor at the Bellevue Brasserie, which hosts a 360-degree view of this magnificent city.
