About This Guide
Riga has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, Hotel Bergs, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while Riga Islande Hotel provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks. When choosing a pet-friendly hotel in Riga, location matters as much as pet policy. We've prioritised properties near parks, walking trails, and pet-friendly restaurants so you and your companion can explore together without constant taxi rides back to the hotel.

Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Centrs
Set within the Bergs Bazaar — an elegant 19th-century courtyard complex in Riga's city centre — Hotel Bergs has defined sophisticated urban luxury in Latvia since its opening. The 38 apartments and suites are generously proportioned, individually designed, and appointed with genuine care; the inner courtyard terrace restaurant is a favourite for power lunches and romantic dinners alike.
Old Town
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.
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.
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.
Old Town
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. The wood-panelled library lounge, impeccably pressed linens, and a location steps from the Dome Cathedral attract discerning travellers who measure luxury in discreet personal service rather than flashy amenities.
Centrs
A bright, design-conscious mid-range option in Riga's city centre that delivers cheerful Latvian-themed interiors, reliable comfort, and a central location near Freedom Monument and the Art Nouveau district at a price point that leaves plenty of budget for the city's excellent restaurant scene.
