It’s that time of year again, when the crisp air and long starlit nights draw in, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay at home.
Nothing beats a spa or city break to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of Riga this November.
As things stand now, you can spot fewer tourists in the Old Town, and travel has become unpredictable. However, this is a brilliant excuse to get acquainted with the local hotel scene. Throughout November, guests and locals alike can enjoy the best selection of hotels in Riga at special rates.
Riga’s hotel establishments are scattered around the city, from luxury five-star hotels to boutique retreats tucked away on the narrow, cobbled streets of the Old Town. Remember that Riga is not a metropolis, and you can literally walk everywhere, no matter where you stay.
As for many economic spheres, this has definitely been a turbulent time for hotels as well. Many have paused and reflected on whether to shut down or remain open. The Neiburgs restaurant and boutique apartment hotel (Jauniela 25/27; neiburgs.com), which has decided to stay in the game and continues to welcome guests from near and far, admits there has been a greater interest in long-term stays in the city. The hotel’s spacious apartments offer ultimate comfort and amenities, including built-in kitchens and comfortable designer furniture. In addition to guests from abroad, hotels are inviting locals to explore the city through the eyes of a tourist. Whether it’s spas and wellness centres, fine dining, or à la carte breakfasts with a glass of champagne, there are quite a few urban oases in the heart of the Latvian capital where you can treat yourself and the family to a short break and a little bit of luxury.
Of course, hotels are acting responsibly and comply with all regional health safety measures, so guests can feel confident that their stay will be handled with the greatest possible care. One thing is certain: Riga’s hotels are willing to do whatever it takes to provide a safe, secure guest experience.
