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.
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.
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.
The tallest building in Riga's city centre provides a full-service luxury experience with panoramic views across the city and the Daugava from upper floors. The extensive spa, multiple restaurants, and large conference facilities make it the natural choice for business events, while the top-floor cocktail bar remains one of the city's great sunset viewing spots.
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.
