Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel, Riga

Hotel Description

You know what? I was honestly a bit skeptical about the Radisson Blu Latvija when I first walked up to it on Elizabetes Street. I mean, it’s this big modern tower that sort of dominates the skyline, and you wonder if it’s going to be one of those soulless business hotels. But actually, once you get inside, there’s something surprisingly warm about the place – maybe it’s the way the lobby feels expansive without being intimidating, or how the staff genuinely seems to know what they’re doing instead of just going through the motions.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to actually explore Riga properly. You’re literally a five-minute walk from the Freedom Monument, and the Old Town is right there – close enough that you’ll find yourself wandering over for dinner without thinking twice about it. But here’s the thing that really won me over: the spa. I wasn’t expecting much (hotel spas can be pretty hit-or-miss), but this one actually delivers. The pool area has this sort of grotto-like feel, and after spending a day walking around the cobblestone streets – which, let’s be honest, can be rough on your feet – soaking in their hot tub felt like exactly what I needed. The conference facilities are clearly the hotel’s bread and butter, so you might run into some business events, but they handle it well enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re staying in an office building.

What really sets this place apart, though, is how they’ve managed to feel both international and distinctly Latvian at the same time. The breakfast spread includes local specialties alongside the usual hotel fare, and the concierge staff – well, they actually know Riga beyond just the tourist highlights. When I asked about finding authentic local restaurants, they didn’t just hand me a generic list; they asked what I was in the mood for and gave me specific recommendations with little details like “ask for the corner table” or “they don’t open until 6, but it’s worth waiting for.” The rooms themselves are what you’d expect from a 4-star Radisson – clean, comfortable, good Wi-Fi, decent views if you’re on the upper floors. Nothing revolutionary, but honestly, sometimes you just want a place that works without any surprises. The 8.7 rating makes sense to me; it’s not trying to be the most luxurious place in the Baltics, but it does what it promises really well. If you’re planning to spend your days out exploring Riga’s Art Nouveau district or day-tripping to places like Jurmala, this gives you a solid, comfortable base where you can actually relax when you get back.
