— The hotel
Comfortable design apartment on Vilanu
Comfortable design apartment on Vilanu sits tucked into a quiet corner of Viļānu iela, just a few steps from the cobblestones of Riga’s Old Town. I walked in on a spring afternoon, the air smelling of fresh pastries from the café on Ārmelna Street that’s just down the block. The lobby is a surprisingly cozy space—soft lighting, a few local art prints, and a friendly receptionist who greeted me with a quick “Hello!” and handed over a keycard without any fuss. Check‑in is straightforward, no long lines, and the staff actually remember your name when you go back for the next day’s breakfast (they’re small, but they’re attentive). The room itself feels like a private retreat: a plush sofa, a crisp white sheet, the subtle scent of lavender from the linen drawer
Hotel in Riga booking should be done early, especially during White Nights season when the city hosts internationally celebrated cultural and music events.
