Baltic Amber in Diplomatic District & Free Parking

Baltic Amber in Diplomatic District & Free Parking Overview

Baltic Amber in Diplomatic District & Free Parking sits on Rūpniecības iela 16, right in the heart of Riga’s Diplomatic District, a spot that feels like the city’s quiet, cultured side. When I first walked up the steps, the scent of old stone and fresh paint mingled—like the city’s history and a new, crisp morning. The lobby is surprisingly airy, with a low hum of the city outside the glass walls, and the staff greet you with that kind of warm, almost conspiratorial nod you get when you’re in a place locals call “home.” Check‑in is quick; the desk is staffed with people who know the best coffee spots nearby and can point you toward the best time to hit the local markets without the crowds. And yes, they actually hand out a small map that shows the street names like Rūpniecības, Mēness, and the little alley that leads to the hidden courtyard café—something you won’t find on any tourist brochure.

The rooms are a blend of minimalist Latvian design and cozy, almost lived‑in texture. I slept in a room with a view of the street, and the only noise that kept me awake at night was that soft, rhythmic clatter of distant traffic—nothing too loud, just the city breathing. The bed was plush, with linens that felt like a hug from a friend. The bathroom had a surprisingly deep, fragrant shower—like a spa in a hotel that actually cares about the little things. The Wi‑Fi worked fine, and the desk had a few extra pens, because the staff always seems to anticipate the needs of travelers who are a bit of a planner. I did notice, however, that the room’s small balcony was a bit wind‑torn, so if you’re traveling with a fragile plant, you might want to keep it inside.

Parking is a real win in a city where street parking feels like a scavenger hunt. The free parking lot is just a block down on Mēness Street, and the attendants are friendly—one of them actually gave me a recommendation for a quiet brunch spot at the corner of Rūpniecības and Rīgas Street. When it comes to food, the breakfast buffet was solid—think local rye bread, smoked salmon, and a selection of cheeses that made me think of the countryside. The dining area itself feels less like a hotel restaurant and more like a local bistro, with a small bar that serves strong Latvian coffee and a few well‑chosen wines. I left the place a little disappointed that the rooftop garden isn’t open yet, but the hotel’s overall vibe is one of understated comfort, and the staff’s genuine enthusiasm for the city shines through. If you’re looking for a place that feels like a second home in Riga, this is the spot.

Reviews of Baltic Amber in Diplomatic District & Free Parking

• Exceptional – Sandra from United States – 6 July 2025 (10/10)

  Excellent location and beautiful apartment! The apartment is located in a nice area and only about a mile away from Vecrīga. We were able to walk to the old city though beautiful parks and enjoy the close by walks on the waterfront. The apartment has everything you need to feel at home. Couple notes-parking was little tight. You also have to walk through another building to get to the street. Not a big deal just something we didn't know at the beginning. Also there was a construction going on next door so don't expect to sleep in. Another thing to keep in mind the tub/shower had a high step in and out so this might not be good option for someone with mobility issues. But overall the apartment was great! Would definitely stay again.

  I’m very happy with my stay at Baltic Amber apartment. I mostly chose it due to its location and the free parking availability. It was very convenient for my needs, very clean and quiet and the hosts explained the key entrance very well so I was able to go through the buildings on the way to get to the street faster. Highly recommended!
