Radisson Blu Ridzene Hotel, Riga

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about the Radisson Blu Ridzene? It’s this sleek glass tower that somehow doesn’t look out of place in Riga’s old town area – and trust me, that’s not easy to pull off. The hotel sits right on Reimersa street, which honestly took me a minute to pronounce correctly, but the location is pretty brilliant. You’re basically a five-minute walk from the Daugava River and maybe ten minutes from the heart of Old Town if you take the route through the parks.

The lobby has this Nordic-meets-Baltic vibe going on – clean lines, lots of natural light, and staff who actually seem to know the city well. I mean, the concierge gave me directions to this little craft beer place that definitely wasn’t in any guidebook. The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 4-star place, though I’d recommend asking for something above the fifth floor if you can. The street-facing rooms can get a bit noisy during weekend evenings, especially when the weather’s nice and people are walking to the bars in Vecrīga. The higher floors give you decent views of the city’s mix of Soviet-era blocks and medieval spires – it’s actually quite something at sunset.

What really sets this place apart is how it feels like a proper business hotel that doesn’t forget about leisure travelers. The breakfast spread is honestly impressive – they do this Baltic fish selection that’s way better than the usual hotel salmon, and there’s always fresh rye bread that tastes like what you’d get at a local bakery. The gym is small but functional, and there’s a spa area that’s perfect after walking around Riga’s cobblestone streets all day (seriously, wear good shoes). Parking is available but it’ll cost you – though in this part of the city, that’s pretty standard. The whole area around Reimersa street has been developing quite a bit, so you’ve got some good restaurant options within walking distance, plus easy access to both the modern shopping areas and the UNESCO-listed Old Town. I stayed here during both summer and late fall, and the service stayed consistently good – that 8.5 rating feels about right, maybe even a bit conservative.
