Picolo recommends · Hotel in Riga, Latvia
Hotel Bergs
Large, pale rooms with art and little clutter, tucked into the restored passages of Berga Bazārs, a short walk from the Old Town.
Turn off the street into the passages of Berga Bazārs and the city quietens. This historic block of buildings has been restored with small shops and cafés, and Hotel Bergs sits right inside it.
The rooms are where it wins you over: big, pared back and pale, with artworks and space to spread out. It has more in common with a Scandinavian design hotel than with Riga's grand old addresses.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Hotel Bergs
Bergs is our design pick. It suits couples and anyone who wants calm and room to breathe, and the restaurants in the surrounding passages mean a good dinner is only a few steps from your door.
You are outside the Old Town, around a ten-minute walk away. If waking up among medieval lanes is the point of your trip, Hotel Neiburgs or Dome Hotel will put you there.
