A22 Hotel
Retro-modern chic — think Mad Men aesthetics filtered through Art Nouveau architecture. Dark parquet, brass fixtures, rich mahogany textiles, and designer furniture sit comfortably inside a pre-war shell. The JFK thread runs through everything: room names, restaurant concepts, cocktail menu.
Book JOHN Chef's Hall well in advance — it's only 7 tables and fills up fast, especially on weekends.
Why It Matters
The building is legitimately historic — purpose-built accommodation for a young JFK is now the Presidential Suite. JOHN Chef's Hall earned Latvia's first Michelin Star and the hotel itself holds a Michelin Key. With only 20 rooms, it's properly intimate, and the dining setup (two distinct restaurants plus a cocktail bar) is unusually strong for a property this small.
A22 is a 20-room, 5-star boutique hotel in Riga's quiet embassy district, housed in a 1930s building that once served as the US Embassy — where a young John F. Kennedy stayed in 1939. The design is bold and knowing: dark palettes, Art Nouveau bones, mid-century modern furniture, and state-of-the-art everything. Under one roof sits a Michelin-recommended restaurant, a one-Michelin-Star chef's table experience, and a JFK-themed cocktail bar. The hotel holds a Michelin Key for 2025, the first awarded to a Latvian property.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Deluxe Room
A step up in size and the starting point for proper A22 immersion. Views overlook either the embassy district streetscape or Viestura Park. The mood is calm and considered — dark tones, quality materials, no fuss.
28 sqm
One-Bedroom Suite
Spacious and properly suite-like — park views, Art Nouveau-inspired interior details, and a refrigerated cabinet stocked with a superior minibar. Good choice if you want to spread out without going full presidential.
Presidential Suite (JFK Suite)
The crown of the building — literally. It occupies the top-floor mansard space that was purpose-built for a 22-year-old JFK in 1939. At 111 sqm it's one of the largest suites in Riga. Two bedrooms, a walk-in closet, living and dining room, and a spacious bathroom. White walls, dark parquet, grey-veined marble, mahogany-hued velvets, and brass pendants by Louis Weisdorf. Park views throughout. Complimentary parking included.
Two bedrooms · 111 sqm
Superior Room
The entry-level option, and still a strong one. City skyline views, a palette of plush furnishings and rich textures, and the same Bose sound system every room gets. Compact but well-designed — nothing wasted.
