"Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga has been part of the city’s fabric since 1878, when it debuted as Riga’s first hotel with electric lights and a telephone. Facing the National Opera House, it still feels like the front row seat to the city’s most spectacular moments. Inside, 141 rooms and suites balance classic grandeur with crisp, modern lines. Stage 22, the rooftop bar, stays lively from aperitivo hour through late night, with cinematic views of the skyline. It is not just one of the best-located hotels in Riga, it is the one locals still dress up for." - Tablet Hotels
