Radisson Blu Elizabete Hotel, Riga

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about the Radisson Blu Elizabete? It’s this sleek glass tower that somehow doesn’t look completely out of place on Elizabetes iela, even though it’s definitely the most modern thing for blocks. I mean, you’re walking down this street with its mix of Soviet-era buildings and Art Nouveau facades, and then boom – there’s this contemporary hotel that actually works with the neighborhood instead of fighting it.

The location is honestly pretty brilliant if you know Riga at all. You’re right in the heart of the city center, maybe a seven-minute walk to the Old Town’s cobblestone streets, but here’s the thing – you’re far enough from the tourist mayhem that you can actually get some sleep. I stayed here during White Nights in June (which, fair warning, means it barely gets dark), and even with the windows open, the street noise was totally manageable. The trams run right down Elizabetes, which sounds annoying but is actually convenient as hell – you can hop on and be at the Central Market or the train station in no time. There’s also this little corner grocery store right across the street that saved me multiple times when I needed water or snacks.

What really sets this place apart is how they’ve nailed the details without being fussy about it. The rooms have this clean, Scandinavian-influenced design that feels expensive but not intimidating – lots of blonde wood and crisp white linens. The bathrooms are genuinely spacious (rare for European hotels, let’s be honest), and the water pressure is fantastic. I actually ended up spending way too much time in that shower after long days wandering around the city. The staff at check-in spoke perfect English and seemed to genuinely know the area – they pointed me toward this amazing little café on Strēlnieku iela that I never would have found otherwise. The breakfast spread was solid too, with local touches like dark rye bread and proper Baltic fish alongside the usual international stuff. My only real complaint? The elevators are a bit slow, which matters when you’re on the 12th floor and running late. But honestly, that’s nitpicking. The views from the higher floors are incredible – you can see clear across Riga’s red rooftops to the Daugava River, and if you’re lucky enough to snag a room facing west, the sunsets are absolutely ridiculous. This isn’t the cheapest option in Riga, but for the combination of location, comfort, and that reliable Radisson quality, it’s worth the extra euros.

Reviews

• Grea! – Inga from United States – 10 July 2025 (8/10)

  Breakfast was very good.
  
  What could be improved: The room was too cold and temperate will not adjust.

• Perfect location for a city trip to Riga! – Aline from Germany – 4 July 2025 (10/10)

  Perfect located next to the park, perfect starting point to discover the city in all directions.
  To the main center it’s about 10-15 min through parks which is really nice!
  
  A small fitness area which is nice to do some exercises.
  
  The hotel is not too big what makes it more familiar. We would always prefer this Radisson Blue Elizabete (and not the other one (Hotel Radisson Blu Latvija), because the other one is huge, always busy and feels very stressful). The Radisson Blue Elizabete Hotel is the much better choice!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, everything was good 👍🏼

  Stay at the Radisson Blu Elizabete Hotel in Riga was very pleasant. The location is perfect – right in the city center, next to Vermanes Garden and just a short walk to the Old Town.
  
  The room was quiet with a great noise insulation. Super comfortable mattress! Breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of options, including a lovely Latvian corner with local cheese and bread.
  
  The staff were all friendly and helpful, and I I’d particularly like to mention the safe on-site parking.
