At Corinthia, we always strive to provide the best rates on our website. If you find a better publicly-available rate anywhere else online, we will match it, and discount the rate by a further 10%. Should you find a lower price elsewhere, please submit a claim within 24 hours of your original booking and we will respond within two working days. Please note, this also applies to discounts and promotions available on Corinthia.com.
Process for making a claim:
Step 1. If within 24 hours of a confirmed reservation with Corinthia Hotels made on Corinthia.com, you find a lower rate for the same hotel, room type, inclusions, stay dates, discounts and payment conditions, please contact the relevant email address from the list below to make your claim. All claims must be made within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time of the hotel.
Step 2. Your claim should be supported by the URL where the lower rate was found and a screen shot which clearly displays the date of stay, room type, same hotel, inclusions and payment conditions of the lower rate offering on the competing website. Please include your contact information (name, email and phone number).
Step 3. If we are able to verify that the lower rate found qualifies for the Best Rate Guarantee, and all other terms and conditions are met, Corinthia Hotels will match it and discount the rate by a further 10% for the rest of your stay.
Corinthia Hotels guarantees the best online rate on corinthia.com based on the following terms and conditions:
Your original booking must have been made through corinthia.com.
The lower rate must be found and the claim submitted by email within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time at the hotel. If the original booking was made within 24 hours of arrival, the Best Rate Guarantee is not applicable.
The Best Rate Guarantee only applies to published rates available to the general public online, which can be found and booked immediately without any kind of restriction or payment restrictions.
The lower rate found must be for exactly the same booking criteria - the same hotel, the same room type, same inclusions, the same stay dates, same number of guests, the same rate description and, if applicable, the same promotion. The cancellation and advance purchase policy and all other terms and conditions of the stay must also be identical. If the claim refers to a reservation consisting of several nights' accommodation, the average rate for each night will be compared to the average rate for each night, for an identical reservation, using the website where the lower rate is found.
Corinthia Hotels will verify the lower rate claim and respond within two working days of the claim being made. *Claims will be processed from Monday to Friday, between 9am to 5pm, at the hotel's local time.
The rate comparison will be made net of any taxes, gratuities or any other fees or charges associated with the room rate, and the lower rate must still be available at the time the hotel validates the claim.
The Best Rate Guarantee is void where prohibited by law. Corinthia Hotels reserves the right to modify or cancel its Best Rate Guarantee policy at any time in its sole discretion and without prior notice.
Corinthia Hotels has the sole right and discretion to determine the validity of any claim, including without limitation, determining that the lower rate found is genuinely available and that the claim meets all terms and conditions. In case of dispute, Corinthia Hotels' decision is final.
In the case of a fully prepaid rate booked through corinthia.com, Corinthia Hotels will refund the difference to your credit card, if applicable, within 30 business days of submitting your claim. Corinthia Hotels is not responsible for any fees associated with cancelling a reservation made through a different channel.
Best Rate Guarantee will be suspended during times where corinthia.com or certain rates are not available due to an outage, a technical issue or a circumstance beyond Corinthia Hotels' reasonable control.
The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to rates found offline, negotiated corporate rates, group or MICE rates, opaque provider rates or rates requiring membership in a club or other organization, governmental rates, direct mail or email solicitations, rates offered by providers that do not supply the name or location of the hotel until after a reservation has been made or other rates that are not available to the general public. We reserve the right to deny a claim if the availability of the Competing Rate cannot be independently verified at the time of processing the claim.
The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to packaged rates. Packaged rates include Hotel accommodations sold as part of a travel package in which the Hotel does not provide all services (including but not limited to airfare and/or car rental, tours etc.) and Hotel accommodations sold with additional amenities.
Corinthia Hotels may deny a claim where the difference between the rates is less than 1%.
If the Competing Rate is in a different currency from the rate booked on corinthia.com, the Competing Rate will be converted into the same currency as the rate offered on our website using the exchange rate as published in www.xe.com in place at the time the initial reservation was made. Discrepancies may occur between Corinthia Hotels' rate and the Competing Rate due to differences in exchange rate sources. If the rate discrepancy is solely due to exchange rate fluctuations, we reserve the right to deny the claim.
Beyond the velvet ropes and the student dives, these St Petersburg nightlife destinations capture the city’s fun-loving side
The St Petersburg nightlife scene is often (falsely) characterised as either an exercise in velvet ropes exclusivity or a marathon of student-style bingeing along infamous Dumskaya Street. But beyond the stereotypes, there’s far more for the evening carouser to discover. Like whisky bars frequented by the literati. Hipster-friendly hidden clubs that throw the best parties in town. Live music to be enjoyed alongside a well-shaken cocktail. From local institution Gribodoev to chic Mishka Bar and on-trend Radiobaby, you’ll find what you’re looking for at these seven addresses, whether it’s laidback tippling or late-night clubbing.
Sever Bar
When it comes to cool settings, it’s hard to do better than Sever Bar: found within the Loft Project Etagi art and design complex, it attracts creative types with its on-trend, industrial interior as well as its heady vibe of late night dancing. Come back on Sunday to relieve your hangover with the weekly chess club.
Union Bar
Burgers while you dance? If you’re into both patties and parties, make your way to the New York-style Union Bar. Arrive early enough to dine, enjoy a live performance while you chow, and then wash it all down with a cocktail or two before shimmying out onto the dancefloor.
Radiobaby
Located just off Nevsky Prospekt, Radiobaby has the look of a Hungarian ruin bar touched down amidst the glamour of the St Petersburg nightlife scene. Crowds are young and bohemian, vibes are hip but laidback, and the music increases in volume throughout the evening.
Visit a bar named after a famous Russian architect and you’re in for some very good design. No surprise then that Stackenschneider is as easy on the eyes (credit also goes to the well-dressed pretty young things in attendance) as it is on the ears. The tunes here lean heavily toward the electronic end of the spectrum, and DJs fly in from around the world to host special party nights.
Mishka Bar
Mishka Bar is way more than just a shots bar, and yet it’s worth pointing out: it does shots really, really well. Far from thoughtless glugs of tequila, at Mishka shots are served in tasting flights with different flavoured, infused vodkas available to enjoy. It all goes wonderfully with the friendly crowds and late-night soundtrack.
Griboedov
A staple of the St Petersburg nightlife scene, Griboedov brings a distinctly Berlin feel to the Venice of the North. One of the city’s most beloved and long-running clubs (it opened in 1996), Griboedov may be far from undiscovered at this point, but you shouldn’t miss the chance to spend your night here. Besides, there’s plenty to see: spread across a maze of rooms, the offerings range from chilled out cafes to DJ-helmed dance spaces.
Dead Poets
Lest you be swayed by the stereotype that St Petersburg’s denizens are all unabashed vodka-guzzlers, a visit to the eminent Dead Poets should change your mind. It’s whisky, the very water of life, that’s celebrated here, both neat and in cocktail form. That name is no misnomer either: this low-key bar regularly hosts poetry evenings, lectures, and other events.
