Business

Radisson SAS Daugava
The free airport transfer helps make up for the location on the opposite bank of the River Daugava from almost everything you will want to see and do. The views of the old town are superb across the water and conference and incentive facilities are amongst the best in Latvia.

Reval Hotel Ridzene
An old Soviet-era building in the new town that has been impressively reinvented as a classy business-orientated hotel. Modern and comfortable rooms come with all the business trappings and the hotel’s staff are also suitably switched on. The sauna, with its views over the city, is the perfect place to relax after a string of stressful meetings.

Luxury

Grand Palace
Regarded by many as the city’s finest hotel since it first opened in 2001, the Grand Palace is a supremely enjoyable place to stay. It manages to conjure up an old world feeling of luxury and decadence whilst at the same time staying ahead of the game with wi-fi now available in all guest rooms. Slick service, a sauna and gym help complete the impressive picture of perhaps the best hotel in the country. First class.

Hotel Bergs
Recently rated by Conde Nast as one of the world’s best new boutique hotels, this slick operation in the new town is indeed impressive, both in terms of the designer décor and the seamlessly smooth service. The most fashionable place to stay in the Latvian capital at the moment, with a very good restaurant on site too.

Moderate

Konventa Seta
Atmospheric hotel that is laid out in a ramble of old convent buildings in the heart of the old town, and offers excellent value. The 140 rooms are bright and comfortable with most mod cons, while the hotel also has some characterful small conference spaces. Highly recommended.

Kaleju 9/11
Tel: 708 7501.

Price: $$

Radi un Draugi
This cosy hotel, which translates as ‘Friends and Family’, is a well run bolthole in the old town that has for years resisted the attempt to skyrocket its prices and rake in the cash. A good value base for both tourists and business people.
