Located in the heart of Riga's business and financial district and across the park from the Old Town, the five star Reval Hotel Ridzene is an ideal stop-off for both tourists and business travellers alike. The dark glass pyramid that springs up in the hotel grounds is almost a replica of the one at the Louvre in Paris, minus the crowds of course. Bright and airy spaces dominate the lobby area whilst the hotel's decor is elegant and classic. Once an important trading port, Latvia's capital is awash with interesting sights like the Dome Cathedral and Art Nouveau architecture. A great spot from which to enjoy the city.

Reval Hotel Ridzene is equipped with all the usual mod cons including free wireless internet. 24-hour room service keeps hunger pains at bay and the stamp of a Green Key hotel ensures your carbon footprint is in some small way accounted for. A fully equipped gym is open daily whilst the Nordic Sauna is available for a bit of R&R. Esplanade, the relaxation centre, is on hand for the necessary preening and pampering.

Elegant rooms team classic luxury with comfort to offer guests a relaxing stay. Free internet is available in every room and designer toiletries add a touch of opulence to the bathrooms. Colours are neutral with the occasional royal blue adding a dash of something extra. Artworks hang on the walls above beds to create a homely atmosphere. This hotel has thought of everything; even anti-allergic parquet floors have been laid.
