This beautiful hotel was probably the nicest place I’ve ever had the opportunity to stay at. It was an unexpected joy. The staff was impeccable, the room was spacious and well appointed. The heated bathroom floors were a lovely discovery. I have never seen a breakfast buffet so expansive and inclusive. You also have the option to order from the menu as they have a chef there preparing omelettes, pancakes, etc. Excellent espresso drinks as well. We dined at the restaurant upstairs and the food was so good. I had the lobster and my partner had the strip loin steak (on the recommendation of the waiter) and everything was perfectly cooked. They had mock-tails and NA sparkling wine which we appreciated since neither of us drink alcohol. The desserts were a work of art. Thank you for a lovely stay and we will definitely be back not only for this hotel, but for Riga as well.

Fine grand hotel style with good sized rooms and bathrooms. Staff helpful and friendly. Lobby bar a disappointment as feels more of a lobby than a bar space. Rooftop bar produced excellent cocktails but seems keener to be set up as a restaurant- bar seating options minimal. Excellent pool and spa

I loved this hotel. The hotel is stylishly elegant and is only walking distance from all the major sights in Riga. The room was beautifully apportioned and very comfortable. The breakfast option was a mixture of buffet and a la carte and was a nice touch. Would definitely stay here again.

Really nice hotel at staff wasn’t super nice
Really great hotel in an OK part of Rica. Some of the staff was nice but others felt slimy like they were trying to cheat me out of some thing. Lots of extra fees for everything. A rollaway bed cost €80 a night which we were unaware of when booking.

This was the finest hotel we have ever stayed in. The staff were lovely. Could not help enough. The food in the hotel was first class. The facilities in the hotel were second to none. If I could give this hotel a 6 stars I would. We loved our stay. Can't recall another time when we felt the hotel contributed greatly to our overall lovely holiday.

I was told this is the best hotel in Riga and when I checked into my room it was very hot 77F(25c) I set the AC to 64F(18C) and waited a couple of hours and the lowest it got was 70F(21.5C) I went downstairs and complained and they the general manager explained to me that the new laws in europe do not allow the rooms to be cooler than 70F(21.5C) that apparently guests were getting sick when its too cold, I did not buy that BS and to top it off when I would leave for dinner and drinks at night and come back to the room they would turn off the ac while I was gone so imagine having to wait another 3-4 hours till the room kinda cools off again, I checked with near by hotels about such AC laws in europe and they laughed and said they never heard anything about this before. It is a very hot summer here in Riga and a property such as this should at least be able to provide fans to the rooms if they cant lower the AC, if you like a cold room then dont stay there, it was the worst 3 nights of my trip so far and glad I left that hotel today.

Best hotel in Latvia. Superb spa facilities.
This is truly a five star hotel with superb pool, sauna, fitness and spa facilities, that are comparable to five star hotels in London / Milan / NY. Other facilities include a roof terrace with a beautiful view of Riga, a 24hr casino, and a smoking cigar room. We had a problem with our bathroom which was rectified quickly. The room was luxurious, comfortable and well insulated and heated. We were impressed by this hotel and would definitely like to return.

Awesome hotel, great amenities and great staff!!
Amazing hotel! Our stay was very enjoyable and lovely. Staff are super friendly, very clean, amazing amenities. The only 2 set backs i can say is that we were there in a time when they were short staffed. And the second set back is their cigars were kept in low humidity 55% to 60%.. as a cigar smoker, this is the reason why i take my cigars always with me. If you want to charge the customers for their own cigar or give the option to purchase, please keep eye on the stock you sell and how it’s presented. But all in all, everything was perfect!
