LOCATION
Riga, the capital of Latvia, was officially founded in 1201. It is the metropolitan centre not only for the country, but also for the whole Baltic region. Riga is best known for its architectural legacy – the Old Town of Riga is listed in the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage list. Due to its strategic position, Riga has always acted as a trading centre and a link between East and West. Today Riga is one of Europe's most dynamic and rapidly developing cities with a wide range of classy restaurants, trendy bars and quality shopping.
GRAND PALACE HOTEL AND ITS SURROUNDINGS
Latvia’s Leading 5–star Hotel is located in the quiet centre of the historical Old Town of Riga. It is surrounded by prestigious UNESCO World Heritage monuments, central to major tourism objects, shopping streets, offices, embassies and banks. Originally built in 1877 as the Central Bank of Latvia, now reconstructed as an elegant hotel, it offers a place of warmth and comfort accompanied by attentive and impeccable service.
The hotel is the only member of “The Leading Hotels of the World” and “Virtuoso” in Latvia and has been voted as Latvia's Leading Hotel for 8 years by the body of World Travel Awards; winner of the Seven Stars and Stripes Award.
The Dome Square, Riga Castle and Daugava River are less than 100 meters (110 yards) away from the hotel. Blackheads House, St. Peter’s Church, Freedom Monument and Opera House are within a 10 minute leisurely walk.
The hotel is only 10 kilometers (6 miles) away from Riga International Airport and less than 1 kilometer (half a mile) away from the Riga International bus terminal, train station and ferry terminal.
The easiest access by car to the hotel and Old Town of Riga is through „Polu Gate” street between Akmens and Vansu bridge. After entering the old town area, turn to the right on Pils street and you’ll see the hotel on the left hand side.
