What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Step inside, though, and you’ll find yourself in a postmodern Belle Époque fantasy—amplified by bold graphic murals and a vivid contemporary color palette.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Directly opposite the park and canal of Bastion Hill, the Centrs location sits a short walk from Old Riga and the Freedom Monument.
The rooms
Rich color palettes and graphic wall motifs define the bedrooms, while premium suites look directly across the canal toward Bastion Hill.
The pool, spa, and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A 15-meter indoor pool with hydro-massage jets anchors the wellness center beside five private treatment suites.
The saunas
Glazed Finnish and bio saunas sit alongside a mosaic-tiled Turkish hammam and heated relaxation loungers.
Dogs stay too.
