Skyhouse Riga Superior Penthouse & SPA

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Skyhouse Riga Superior Penthouse & SPA” I rolled my eyes a bit at the name. Sounds like something dreamed up by a marketing team, right? But then I actually stayed there on Putnu iela, and honestly, it kind of lives up to the hype. The location is what really got me first – you’re tucked away in this quieter residential area that feels authentically Rīga, not some tourist bubble. You can walk to the old town easily enough (maybe 15-20 minutes if you don’t mind the stroll), but you’re far enough from the bachelor party crowds that stumble around the city center at 2 AM. The building itself sits on this tree-lined street where you’ll see actual locals walking their dogs and heading to work, which I mean, that’s what you want when you’re trying to get a feel for a place.

What struck me most was how they’ve managed to create this spa-like atmosphere without it feeling pretentious or overdone. The penthouse aspect isn’t just marketing speak – you really do get these expansive views over the rooftops, especially lovely during those long summer evenings when the light just hangs in the sky forever. The spa facilities are genuinely relaxing (not just a tiny sauna shoved in a corner like some places), and after spending days wandering around the cobblestones of Vecrīga, trust me, you’ll appreciate having somewhere to properly unwind. The rooms themselves have this clean, modern feel but with enough character that you don’t feel like you’re in some generic chain hotel. I particularly loved the attention to details – good lighting for actually reading, proper blackout curtains, and a shower that doesn’t require an engineering degree to operate.

The whole experience feels more like staying in a really well-appointed apartment than a traditional hotel, which works perfectly for Rīga. You get the independence to explore the city at your own pace, maybe grab some local beer and cheese from one of the nearby shops, but you also have that hotel service when you want it. The staff actually know the neighborhood – they pointed me toward this fantastic little café just a few blocks away that I never would have found otherwise. Parking isn’t a nightmare either, which if you’ve driven in European city centers, you know that’s not nothing. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I was planning to spend more than just a quick weekend in the city. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in and actually live a bit like a local, rather than just checking boxes on a sightseeing list.
