ST PETERSBURG, Russia - Italian designer Mauro Adami,

heart of the city of Nevsky Prospect, partnered with
Adami, who personally attended the event, to further
boost its reputation as one of the city’s leading
wedding locations.
The Wedding Fashion Show at Corinthia St Petersburg saw 20

dresses are the embodiment of Italian chic and were
presented against a unique backdrop, which was specially
created for the show. After the catwalk, guests were invited
into the showroom to talk to Adami about his creations, get
a closer look at the dresses and even try them on.
Corinthia St. Petersburg is one of the city’s leading

Adami’s $400,000 ‘Platinum Dress’ – made of over 40 meters

CORINTHIA HOTELS IN MALTA AND RUSSIA
BAG TRAVEL INDUSTRY ‘OSCARS’
18TH October 2012 - Corinthia
Hotels announces that its five-star Corinthia Palace
Hotel & Spa in Malta and its Corinthia Hotel St
Petersburg in Russia, were among Europe's
travel elite to walk off with top honors at
a World Travel Awards (WTA) ceremony hosted in the
Algarve on Saturday 6th October 2012. The former has
been voted ‘Malta’s Leading Hotel’ for the fourth
consecutive year, whereas the latter was named ‘Russia’s
leading Conference Hotel’.
The
luxury Corinthia Hotels brand is this year celebrating
its 50th Anniversary.
Other Corinthia hotels that featured prominently among
the WTA finalists in various categories included the
Corinthia Hotel London, Corinthia Hotel Budapest,
Corinthia Hotel St George’s Bay and Corinthia Hotel
Lisbon.
Hailed as
‘The Oscars of the Travel Industry’ by the global media,
World Travel Awards is acknowledged across the globe as
the ultimate travel accolade, and highlights
and rewards those travel brands that have made the
greatest contribution to the industry over the past
year. A packed delegation of VIPs, senior tourism
figures and international media travelled from 35
nations to attend the event.
Set in extensive landscaped gardens, the Corinthia
Palace Hotel & Spa, the ‘Grand Lady’ of Malta’s
luxury hotels, was the very first hotel to fly the
Corinthia flag when it opened in 1968 in the presence of
Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Since then, the
world renowned hotel has become the benchmark for
excellence in Malta’s luxury hotel sector and the
catalyst for the worldwide expansion of the ‘Corinthia
Hotels’ brand.
Following
extensive refurbishment and restructuring work, the
400-room luxury Corinthia Hotel St Petersburg was
re-launched with more bedrooms and more facilities under
one roof than any other luxury five-star hotel in the
City. The hotel, together with grand properties on
either side of it on the city’s main boulevard, was
acquired as an operating hotel in 2002 by International
Hotel Investments plc. (IHI).
IHI, which is the owner, developer and operator of all
Corinthia Hotels, has since invested a further Euro €100
million in the total refurbishment of the original
hotel, complete with a new grand foyer, a new restaurant
and new bars. The adjoining buildings on either side of
the hotel were demolished and carefully reconstructed
with ornate facades matching their original splendour,
rebuilt using traditional techniques. The hotel also has
the city’s first grand ballroom in a five-star hotel.
Underlining the depth
and quality of the travel and tourism sector across
Europe Graham E. Cooke, President and
Founder, World Travel Awards said: “During
times of economic austerity world-class brands come into
their own, and the winners at our Europe Ceremony
represent the cream of the continent.”

CORINTHIA NEVSKIJ PALACE
HOTEL, ST PETERSBURG, RUSSIA
The extension and
refurbishment project of the Corinthia Nevskij
Palace Hotel as the leading hotel in St Petersburg,
Russia, took a major step forward with the laying
of a foundation stone by her Excellency Valentina
Matvienko, Governor of St. Petersburg.
The Chairman of
International Hotel Investments plc (IHI), Mr
Alfred Pisani, visited St. Petersburg for the
occasion and affirmed IHI's commitment to invest
further in the City. "We are very confident of the
future of St Petersburg, both as a tourism
destination, as also as an important political and
economic hub. This augurs well for our project, and
indeed underpins our decision to invest a further
Euro 75 million in the Nevskij Palace Hotel, by way
of upgrading the current facilities, as also
re-developing three buildings on either side of our
property", Mr Pisani told guests attending the
ceremony.
Governor Matvienko
welcomed the investment and confirmed the City's
commitment to supporting IHI's plans for St
Petersburg. The Nevskij project is scheduled for
completion in late 2007.
The project
features the refurbishment of all public areas in
the current hotel and principally the total
re-organisation of the hotel lobby, befitting a
world-class sense of arrival. The project will also
include the upgrade and redevelopment all the
hotel's restaurants.
In addition, the
project will feature the extension of the Hotel
into the adjoining building at 59 Nevskij Prospekt.
This extension will house an additional 105
executive standard bedrooms and a 250m2
Presidential Suite, bringing the hotel's total
inventory to close to 400 bedrooms. The new
bedrooms will be supported by a separate executive
club lounge, where guests can avail themselves of
separate check-in and lounge facilities. Besides,
the extension will feature the city's first hotel
conference centre, with some 14 state-of-the-art
meeting rooms including a Grand Ballroom. Over
1,000 guests can be accommodated in the conference
centre, thus enabling Corinthia to internationally
market St Petersburg as a top class destination for
meetings and events for international
companies.
At 55 Nevskij Prospekt, the project will feature
the development of Nevskij Plaza, a prestigious,
elite commercial centre. The first two floors of
