Unsourced article for long time. Not sure if it is really notable. I have difficulties to find "multiple independent reliable sources" which will describe the subject directly and in detail. WP:NOTTRAVEL. XXN, 21:48, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. It will be in the news occasionally when visitors to Putin stay there. I find some hits on it. -- do ncr am 20:53, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep, I guess. It is true that, as far as I can tell, all the many hits on it are travel guides. But there are many travel guides that have something useful to say about it; there's no shortage of sources for a decent article. It's a five-star hotel. It's apparently in a historic building, the National Congress Palace. It provided accomodations for participants in something called the 2003 EU-Russia summit, FWIW. If it was in America there would be probably be a couple magazine articles about it and it'd be in. I guess... if you're going to have articles about any hotels, you might as well include this one.

- Delete - quote from WP:NOT: Wikipedia is not the place to recreate content more suited to entries in hotel or culinary guides, travelogues, and the like. This article reads like an entry straight from a standard hotel guide. There is nothing notable about it. By the way, there are 17 other five-star hotels in St. Petersburg, so I wouldn't be too impressed with their rating. Glendoremus ( talk) 06:25, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. Being located next to the official residence of Vladimir Putin really doesn't confer notability. doncram, being "in the news occasionally when visitors to Putin stay there" doesn't sound like it's the hotel that'll be in the news. Mentioned in passing, more likely. Unsourced. Bishonen | talk 16:56, 26 February 2017 (UTC).
