Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Old Town
Installed within Tallinn's former 19th-century telegraph exchange on Vene Street, Hotel Telegraaf is the city's benchmark luxury address. Exposed brick vaults, designer lighting, and a handsome spa with a heated indoor pool create an atmosphere that is simultaneously grand and intimate. The location — seconds from Town Hall Square — is simply unbeatable for Old Town exploration.
Old Town
Tucked inside a 15th-century merchant townhouse on Pühavaimu Street, Schlössle is Tallinn's most romantic small hotel — 23 rooms dressed in rich fabrics, four-poster beds, and open fireplaces that transform winter stays into fairy tales. The vaulted stone breakfast room, antique furnishings, and impeccably discreet service have earned it a devoted following among guests who prefer history to hype.
Kadriorg
Set in the peaceful Kadriorg district near the palace park, L'Ermitage is Tallinn's most serenely positioned luxury hotel — a sophisticated retreat from Old Town crowds. The contemporary art collection, locally sourced restaurant, and attentive personal service attract discerning travellers who want the real Tallinn, not just the tourist version.
City Centre
A Baltic baron's 19th-century manor house has been reborn as one of Tallinn's most distinctive hotels, with a vaulted cellar restaurant, manicured garden, and rooms that blend period elegance with Scandinavian restraint. The parkside setting offers a rare sense of calm within walking distance of the Old Town walls, making this a perennial favourite with discerning European travellers.
City Centre
Tallinn's largest luxury property towers over the city centre with panoramic Baltic views from its upper-floor rooms and a rooftop sauna — an essential Estonian experience. The Forum's Scandinavian-minimalist aesthetic, state-of-the-art spa, and proximity to the Old Town make it the go-to choice for larger groups and corporate travellers.
City Centre
A Tallinn landmark since 1937, Hotel Palace blends inter-war grandeur with contemporary refinement on Freedom Square. The elegant lobby, period-inspired suites, and excellent French-Estonian restaurant make it a natural choice for travellers who value architectural heritage alongside modern comforts.
