Picolo recommends · Hotel in Tallinn, Estonia
Swissôtel Tallinn
From high up in a glass tower in the centre, the church spires of the Old Town and the Baltic Sea fill the window of many rooms.
As the sun goes down, the light settles on the spires and the harbour, and from the top of Swissôtel you see all of it at once. The tower is one of the tallest buildings in Tallinn.
There is a bar and restaurant on the highest floors and a spa with a pool lower down. Rooms are modern and many face the Old Town or the sea. The medieval lanes are around ten minutes away on foot.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Swissôtel Tallinn
Our design pick, and the best place in the city to see Tallinn from above. Service is polished, the rooms are contemporary, and it works for couples and business travellers alike.
This is a big-city hotel. You will not find medieval atmosphere in the corridors, and you walk a little to reach the Old Town. If history matters most, choose Schlössle or The Three Sisters.
