Kurenbin Guest House

Kurenbin smART Art Apartment is a modern avant-garde guest house designed by artist and architect Ivan Kurenbin. It occupies a historic 1916 building in the very heart of St. Petersburg, just steps away from Palace Square. Embracing the intimate atmosphere of genuine hospitality, we have created nine cozy rooms spread across two levels of a spacious single floor, fully equipped for a comfortable stay — whether after long walks through Russia’s Northern Capital or an intense business day — all with stunning views of the city’s historic center. Each room is decorated with original paintings by the creator himself, while the corridors have been transformed into an exhibition space.

The concept of Kurenbin smART goes beyond comfortable accommodation — it fosters close, friendly interaction between guests and our community through events, exhibitions, performances, and film screenings. In our lounge, you can always enjoy a cup of aromatic coffee, craft tea, or refreshing drinks, host a meeting or a photo shoot, or create your own unique event.

We offer nine contemporary rooms of exclusive design in soothing shades of sea green and chocolate, just a one-minute walk from Palace Square and the Hermitage. All rooms boast magnificent views of the most prestigious part of Nevsky Prospekt. Our exclusive upper-floor rooms, with floor-to-ceiling windows right by the bed, create the sensation of floating above St. Petersburg’s historic heart.

The smART concept is a harmonious blend of creative art spaces and ergonomic solutions for compact living. Our boutique-style rooms may have modest floor areas and low ceilings, yet they are meticulously designed for maximum comfort — perfect for leisure travelers and business visitors alike. Each room comes equipped with a smart TV, individual air conditioning, private shower, premium toiletries, a full set of personal care essentials, and disposable slippers.
