The VALO Hotel Complex Welcomes SPIEF Participants
VALO is an official partner of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which takes place from June 3 to 6. This means that all five hotels in the complex meet the high standards of this prestigious event and its star ratings, and are participating in the accredited accommodation program for forum participants and guests.
For SPIEF participants, choosing VALO hotels for their stay means:
- a dedicated SPIEF check-in desk in the main lobby
- shuttles running between VALO – ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Center – VALO from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM, with the trip taking no more than half an hour
- early breakfast buffet: on weekdays in the breakfast hall at VALO Mercure starting at 6:00 AM, at the PALMA restaurant starting at 6:30 AM; on Saturdays starting at 7:00 AM and 7:30 AM, respectively
- close to the airport and train stations (35 min. by car to Pulkovo Airport, 15 min. by metro to Moskovsky Station)
- close to St. Petersburg’s historic center and attractions (from 13 min.)
- services you may need for an important business trip, as well as leisure and wellness facilities on the complex grounds, ranging from haircuts and massages to karaoke and a wine bar
VALO City Resort features 3- to 5-star hotels with rooms in a wide range of categories, including hotels from the international chains Mercure (VALO Mercure 5*) and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (VALO Ramada 4*). Most rooms feature a kitchenette, appliances, and ironing facilities. There are work areas, safes, and, of course, reliable high-speed Wi-Fi. You can freshen up your clothes at the express laundry service.
Depending on the hotel, the rate may include access to a spa area and gym (VALO Mercure) or a fitness center with a spa area and a large pool (VALO Ramada).
VALO offers spaces for both formal and informal business meetings, including meeting rooms and conference halls. On the territory, there are over 20 restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, and restaurant-quality takeout shops (including the famous St. Petersburg shawarma). If the weather allows, you can sit at tables or in lounge chairs on the sand while listening to the sound of the fountain.
A park is just a two-minute walk from VALO—a great spot for a morning jog or stroll. Right now, there are trees in bloom there.
Metro is the most convenient way to get around the city center: the trip from VALO to Palace Square and Nevsky Prospect takes just 13–18 minutes by metro, and the metro station is right across from the complex (“Bucharestskaya,” closes at 12:30 a.m.).
VALO is a city resort where you can relax and recharge. To help you do that:
- comfortable beds, a pillow menu, rentals of gadgets for healthy sleep, and blackout curtains for a restful sleep even during St. Petersburg’s famous white nights
- the complex features barbershops and hair salons, beauty and massage parlors, and a wellness center with state-of-the-art equipment and technologies for quickly relieving muscle and emotional tension, resetting the nervous system, detoxification, oxygenating cells, and achieving deep sleep in 30 minutes
- a quiet, gated, secure area with several courtyards and landscaping, where, while strolling under trees adorned with garlands, you can enjoy the resort’s amenities while staying in the city.
