From water that looks like Apple juice to signs that say “No fishing in the Toilet” The hotels in Sochi haven’t made a good impression on the western media.

But hey, let’s not let a small group of hotels and anecdotes account for the entire country. Russia has some high quality luxury hotels that parallel anything in the world.

Here are 4 Russian Hotels that show how great hospitality in Russia can be!

The W is a luxury hotel brand with a reputation for contemporary style and amenities; the W in St. Petersburg is no exception.

This property features a business centre, gym, spa and it’s pet friendly. The standard amenities also include an Ipod docking station, a 32 inch LCD TV, hypoallergenic pillows (Bob Costas could have used these!) and heated bathroom floors.
