Grand Palace Hotel

The Tsarist grandeur and finesse in the heart of the charming Old Town will likely appeal to your inner bourgeoisie. Expensive rugs, vases, chandeliers, candelabras, framed wall paintings and vintage wallpaper dominate the almost theatrical public areas of this former Bank of Latvia building, built in 1877. Maritime-themed prints depicting 19th-century city scenes and dark retro furniture, including travel chest cabinets and drawers, temper the more modern feel of the bright rooms.
