Grand Poet Hotel and SPA
Bohemian-meets-diplomatic design hotel. Bold, eclectic interiors in a historic shell. Think large murals, rich textures, and high-quality furnishings — upscale but not stuffy.
Book Hedonic Spa time slots in advance — the spa does get busy, especially weekends, and the hotel requires pre-booking
Why It Matters
One of Riga's only genuine five-star design hotels, Michelin-listed, with an in-house spa that functions more like a standalone wellness destination. The Hedonic Spa uses EviDenS de Beauté (France) and MOSS of the ISLES (Ireland/Britain) — both exclusive to Latvia at this property.
A five-star design hotel inside a stately 19th-century building on Raiņa Boulevard, directly across from Bastion Hill Park and a ten-minute walk from Old Town. The exterior is all grand neoclassical composure — step inside and the interiors go the other direction entirely: bold color palettes, oversized graphic murals, mix-and-match European furnishings, and a vibe that lands somewhere between artistic salon and diplomatic residence. The Hedonic Spa is one of Riga's most serious wellness setups, with four types of saunas, a heated pool, and treatment menus from two brands that are new to Latvia.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Courtyard Suite with Kitchenette
A suite category room with a kitchenette, facing the interior courtyard. Suited to longer stays or guests who want flexibility for self-catering. Bath and shower, sofa, and full amenity set included.
Double
De Luxe Room
The defining feature here is the original bay window — a 19th-century architectural inheritance that floods the room with light and frames views of the Freedom Monument and Bastion Hill Park. The seating area by the bay window is a genuine highlight. A step up from Standard in both size and character.
Double · 38 sqm
Grand Suite
The flagship room at 66 sqm. The contrast-heavy design — bold colors against 19th-century architectural bones — works especially well here. A freestanding bathtub sits by the window overlooking Bastion Hill Park. Living room has a decorative fireplace and a fully separate working room with a desk. One guest described the bathroom as 'next-level, with marble finishes and a huge walk-in shower.'
Double · 66 sqm
Junior Suite
Separate living area and bedroom, connected open-plan or with a separating door depending on the unit. Generous size range with a seating and work area, sofa, and full bath. Good choice for longer stays or anyone who wants distinct living and sleeping spaces without going to a full suite.
