About This Guide
Riga offers a remarkable range of families accommodation options. Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning, the right hotel makes all the difference. Our families picks balance location, design, service, and value — every property on this list has been personally vetted by our review team.
Insider Tips
Book at least 2-3 months ahead for peak season stays in Riga.
Consider staying slightly outside the main tourist zone for better value — many of Riga's best hotels are in residential neighborhoods.
Always check the hotel's cancellation policy before booking, especially during high season.
Ask the front desk for local restaurant recommendations — hotel concierges in Riga often have excellent taste.
If you're visiting for the first time, a central location is worth the premium — you'll save on transport and have more time to explore.

5 hotels · Updated February 2026
Old Town
Installed in a meticulously restored 1903 Art Nouveau building in the heart of Vecrīga, Neiburgs is the definitive Riga boutique experience. Each of its rooms occupies a unique footprint within the heritage building, with high ceilings, original plasterwork, and understated Baltic design. The hotel restaurant is consistently ranked among Riga's best for Latvian seasonal cooking.
Old Town
The Pullman brings its signature brand of upscale-relaxed hospitality to a sleek contemporary building just inside the old city gates. The rooftop bar, modern fitness suite, and large, light-filled rooms with Old Town views make it a strong choice for those who want reliability and comfort alongside unbeatable medieval surroundings.
Old Town
Living up to its name with a position facing the great Dome Cathedral directly, this intimate luxury hotel occupies a sequence of medieval and Art Nouveau buildings knitted together to create 30 singular rooms and suites. The spa, tucked beneath the original stone vaulting, is a masterpiece of atmospheric design — steam rooms, Himalayan salt walls, and a jacuzzi under Gothic arches.
Centrs
A cheerful boutique hotel in a converted early 20th-century building near the National Opera, Art Hotel Roma is Riga's most charming mid-range option — theatrical interiors, warm staff, and a genuine sense of local personality that chain hotels in the city simply cannot replicate. A superb base for exploring both the Old Town and the Art Nouveau district on foot.
Kipsala
Perched on the Kipsala island bank of the Daugava, the Islande offers some of Riga's most dramatic river-and-skyline views from its modern riverside rooms. It's a polished business hotel elevated by genuinely good service, an excellent breakfast, and a rooftop terrace that comes alive on summer evenings with half of Riga's creative class in attendance.
