Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Initially a wing of the Astoria, the four-star Angleterre shares a designer and a kitchen with its "sister hotel," though they're now under separate management. See the review for details on the building's history. Today the Angleterre is a slightly less expensive, less well-preserved neighbor of the Astoria, but it is still a luxurious place to stay in an ideal location. Corridors are plainer, and the lobby, while glistening in white marble, lacks any period style. The spacious guest rooms, many boasting wide windows, are decorated in warm woods that differ little in quality and style from the Astoria's. The view of St. Isaac's makes a street-facing room worthwhile; triple-paned windows keep the traffic roar to a light hum.
