What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The guest rooms successfully inhabit that pleasant space where professionalism and laid-back luxury intersect.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Maakri's glass office towers surround the building, and the medieval Old Town is a ten-minute walk away.
The rooms
Dark timber desks and contemporary sofas anchor the bedrooms, while bathrooms are finished in dark mosaic tile with walk-in rainfall showers.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The curved indoor pool sits beneath circular ceiling lights, surrounded by dark mosaic pillars and loungers.
The spa
The tiered wood sauna looks across the city through a panoramic window, and treatment rooms use Alpine essential oils.
Horisont Restaurant & Bar
The circular bar mixes cocktails beneath halo lights, with red velvet armchairs looking out through panoramic windows.
At the table
White-clothed tables sit beneath golden chandeliers in the dining room, looking out over open water from floor-to-ceiling windows.
How it began
Architect Meeli Truu designed the 117-metre glass structure, completed in 2007 as part of the Tornimäe twin-tower complex.
