Picolo recommends · Hotel in Tallinn, Estonia
Hotel Palace
An interwar building on Freedom Square, just outside the Old Town walls, with calm, classic rooms and a small spa pool downstairs.
Freedom Square is open and wide, a contrast to the tight lanes of the Old Town just behind it. Hotel Palace faces the square from a building put up between the two world wars.
Rooms are classic in style and quiet, and downstairs you find a small spa and pool. Town Hall Square is five minutes away on foot, and a tram stop nearby takes you out to Kadriorg Park and Kumu, the national art museum.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Hotel Palace
Palace suits anyone after an old-school hotel in a central spot, away from the heaviest traffic at the Viru Gate. Kadriorg and Kumu are easy to reach from here.
Not every room is in the same condition, and some feel tired. Choose one of the refurbished room types when you book to avoid disappointment.
