Daugirdas Hotel

In Kaunas’s Old Town, the business-like Daugirdas stitches a renovated 16th- to 19th-century townhouse to a modern building with a sloping glass roof. The atrium between resembles a paved square, with old-fashioned street lamps and cafe tables. Accommodation is comfortable with solid wooden furniture – the standout is the sole Gothic Lux room, with a timbered ceiling and arched windows. Local lore suggests a medieval customs official furtively signalled nocturnal trading boats with candles in its niches to help them bypass duties.
