"Located on Gediminas Avenue — often referred to as the "Champs-Élysées of Vilnius" — this historic building dates back to 1917 and began operating as a hotel in 1939. In the late 1950s, it was redesigned and reconstructed by architect brothers Algimantas and Vytautas Nasvyčiai, officially reopening as the Neringa Hotel in 1960. Alongside its legendary restaurant, the hotel quickly became a key cultural hub in Vilnius and a national symbol of modernist architecture." - Tablet Hotels
