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.
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
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 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.
