I'm visiting St. Petersburg later this year and am wondering if there are any hotels in St. Petersburg that offer free airport shuttles....

None that I know of. Maybe near Pulkovo?
Cabs are not expensive.

Crowne Plaza Pulkovo Airport which is opening this October is projected to have a shuttle (see below). While they say that they have a free shuttle to the airport (after all the distance is less than 0.5 miles), a shuttle to a stop on one of the subway lines (~3 miles), I doubt that they have an area shuttle within a 14-mile radius (see last statement). I just stayed at Renaissance Baltic and W St Petersburg hotel in downtown St Pete and neither had a shuttle, less a complimentary one.

As the other poster said, taxis are not that overly expensive, esp if you call one in advance. There are literally dozens of competing taxi cab companies - 068, 777-1-777, 6-000-000, you name it. Google "ordering taxi st petersburgh" and you' should be able to find a few with English language sites.

It cost us 850 rubles from the airport to downtown in a very nice leather seat Mercedes. On the way back at night, it was 800 rubles in a typical comfort class Kia or Ford. We called ahead both times (using different companies). Both drivers were punctual, patient and waiting for us.
