What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
A rare example of medieval architecture re-conceptualized for modern travel, without losing its soul.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto cobblestoned Pikk street, moments from the Great Coastal Gate and St. Olaf's Church.
The rooms
Every room has a unique layout shaped by the medieval architecture, with exposed stonework and a deep soaking tub.
Restaurant
Merchant Reception Rooms
The morning buffet lays out cold-smoked Baltic salmon and forest honey beneath heavy timber ceiling beams.
At the table
Candlelit tables dressed in white linens sit beside a tiled fireplace and textured stone walls.
How it began
The three buildings date to the 1360s, when Hanseatic merchants used them as combined family residences and storehouses.
