Choose the Hotel only in summer,the rooms are very cold,this comment is also from other guests. I was there for 2 nights business and it was to cold in the room to take a shower.

I got a real deal compared to the rack rate. This is a classy hotel; it's listed in the guide books as moderate. I would put it up a class. Very new and modern. FABULOUS buffet breakfast with several stations and a big circular table. Very large dining area. Bright and cheerful. (During the day the breakfast "room" is an expensive restaurant.) Great bed, great bathroom -- loved the shower. Strangely, there was no luggage rack. Pretty much every other amenity you could wish for. Negatives for me were: I couldn't stand the music playing in the lobby/atrium area -- loud, upbeat, I can't even classify it as to style but it was very annoying. One negative which is also a positive is the location NOT being in the old town. It's a brisk 20 minute walk through the park. Good part is that you miss the street noise at night. The best part about the location is that it's right around the corner from Vincent, my favorite up-scale restaurant (go for the fixed price lunch -- much cheaper but same elegant cuisine). This is also the neighborhood of the most Art Nouveau buildings and they are spectacular.

Landmarks and attractive features in the hotel area. The area now is the most prestigious and prosperous in the great city of Riga. It is full of excellent Art Nouveau buildings, most of them beautifully renovated, some of the best ones occupied by embassies. Nearby is the great semicircle of parks with beautiful landscaping and particularly noteworthy flower gardens. Two minutes walk from the hotel is the ``Vincent'' restaurant, reputed to be the best in Riga. Our meal there was certainly memorable. The restaurant in the hotel, while not exactly at the same level, is excellent too. There is also a plethora of less formal places offering simpler and less expensive food, and, most interestingly, glimpses into the local social scene. Particularly remarkable and touching for a visiting Russian speaker are companies of young evidently prosperous Riga Russians (65% of the city population are Russian speakers), relaxed and dignified, real Europeans in the best sense of the word, lacking any traces of vulgarity and self-consciousness, which are noticeable even among the best specimens of that kind in Moscow.

We enjoyed our stay, especially the one night we stayed in a suite. One problem we noticed was that it was not possible to keep the windows open for ventilation without also letting in light, which was a problem during late June. The other clients seemed to be people like us, middle-aged with good incomes who travel for business and also some vacationers. We saw only one young couple with a small child.

The room was small for 2 people, but clean and well appointed, and very quiet. The reception people were very friendly and helpful. We had an evening meal in the restaurant, and it was overpriced compared to restaurants in the area.The food was good, but the service very slow.
