Commanding a prime position on the edge of Riga's old city rampart canal, the Kempinski brings its characteristic blend of Beaux-Arts grandeur and Swiss precision service to Latvia's capital. The rooftop restaurant's panoramic view across Old Town spires and the Canal Gardens is one of the city's great dining spectacles; the spa is among the finest in the Baltics.

A neo-classical monument occupying a 19th-century palace in the quiet heart of Vecrīga, the Grand Palace delivers old-world elegance with Swiss efficiency.
