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.
City Centre
A sleek city-centre boutique that punches well above its price point, My City Hotel delivers clean Nordic design, efficient service, and a superb breakfast spread a five-minute walk from the Old Town gates. Rooms are not large, but smartly configured; corner rooms on upper floors catch the city skyline beautifully.
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
Connected directly to Tallinn Airport via enclosed walkway, Ülemiste is the city's essential transit hotel — but one with genuine personality. Design-forward interiors, a strong restaurant, and easy access to both the tech quarter and Old Town make it far more than an overnight layover option.
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.
Old Town
One of Tallinn's great old-town stalwarts, the Savoy occupies a handsome limestone building within the medieval walls, offering gracious rooms with views across the Old Town roofscape and a warm, old-world hospitality that feels increasingly rare. The wood-panelled lounge bar is a destination in itself on cold Baltic evenings.
