Flanked by the Latvian National Opera House and the UNESCO World
Heritage Site of the Old Town, the Grand Hotel Kempinski in Riga is
Latvia’s first five-star luxury hotel. The history of the site itself – the
place where the first cocktail in the Soviet Union was reputedly served –
is celebrated in the sympathetic updating of the hotel. The glamour of a
bygone era is at the heart of the renovation, from the Grand Bar to the
Cigar Lounge. The hotel also discreetly offers all the modern comfort
you could wish for, with the addition of a 1300 sqm spa offering well-
ness treatments and a ‘vitality pool’. The suites are a similar mix of
traditional and modern luxury, with richly textured materials creatin
g
an atmosphere of indulgence, paired with the highest quality fittings.
In the bathrooms, the subtle, timeless elegance of GROHE Essence
mixers are a perfect aesthetic fit, while GROHE F-Series ceiling show-
ers offer guests the ultimate way to unwind
