Riga Lux Apartments – Ernesta, Free parking

Hotel Description

You know what really caught me off guard about Riga Lux Apartments on Ernesta Birznieka-Upīša? The fact that it’s tucked away on this quiet residential street, but you’re actually still walking distance to everything that matters in Riga. I mean, when I first pulled up – and yes, they really do have free parking, which is honestly a godsend in this city – I wasn’t sure what to expect from the somewhat understated building exterior. But once you get inside, it’s like stepping into someone’s really well-appointed friend’s apartment, if that friend happened to have impeccable taste and a thing for quality linens.

The apartments themselves are what I’d call “quietly luxurious” – nothing flashy or trying too hard, just really solid, thoughtful design. The kitchens are actually functional (you can tell someone who cooks designed them), and the bathrooms have that perfect water pressure that makes you want to take longer showers than you probably should. What struck me most was how they’ve managed to keep the character of the building while making everything feel fresh and modern. The windows are these gorgeous tall ones that let in all this natural light, and honestly, the beds are the kind you sink into after a long day of wandering around Old Town and just think, “okay, this was the right choice.”

Here’s the thing about the location that the address doesn’t tell you – you’re in this lovely neighborhood called Centrs, which feels residential enough that you’re not dealing with tourist crowds right outside your door, but central enough that you can walk to Kronvalda Park in about ten minutes when you need some green space. The tram connections are solid too, though I found myself walking most places because the streets around there are actually pretty charming to explore. And let me tell you, after dealing with parking nightmares in other European cities, pulling into their dedicated spot each evening felt like a small victory. The only minor thing I’d mention is that if you’re a super light sleeper, you might catch some street noise in the morning – but honestly, it’s just normal city sounds, not anything crazy. The fact that this place consistently gets ratings in the 9+ range makes total sense once you’ve stayed there – it’s one of those places that just gets the details right without making a big show of it.
