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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
