Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga

Stayed here recently for a 10 day stay for business and had an amazing stay. The spa was a welcome respite from a long day of meetings and report writing. The location to surrounding attractions, restaurants, and grocery stores is ideal for a long stay. The service is highly professional and excellent, I felt welcomed from the moment I stepped into the lobby. I want to especially commend the hostess at breakfast and her entire team of wait staff who made breakfast truly enjoyable every morning. She greeted me every morning with a smile, remembered my preferred table and my hot green tea which I enjoy greatly. The wait staff was quick with their service, removing my plate when I was finished and asking if I needed anything. I normally do not eat breakfast but eating breakfast here was the highlight of my stay every day. I also wanted to thank the spa staff for maintaining the spa so clean and welcoming. I had a massage while I was there and it was a great experience. The masseuse was very professional and knowledgeable about deep tissue, you cannot go wrong with spa services here. Thank you to Grand Hotel Kempinski for a very wonderful stay and will definitely choose this hotel for future stays in Riga, that is a promise.

This was our second stay at the Grand Kempinski in Riga. The rooms are clean and beautiful with good air conditioning. The breakfast is delicious and the upstairs restaurant is great. It is the people working here that make staying at the Kempinski exceptional. From a warm welcome to extremely helpful front desk associates to having your coffee preference remembered at breakfast, the employees here elevate the experience. I highly recommend and plan to return when visiting Riga again.

We stayed at Kempinski Riga for one night and had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch—professional, warm, and attentive. The breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options, and the coffee was genuinely amazing. We also had dinner at the hotel restaurant, and the food was exceptional—both in presentation and taste. What really made the stay special was that it was my birthday, and the staff surprised us with complimentary champagne and snacks delivered to our room. Such a thoughtful gesture made the occasion feel even more memorable. The room was luxurious and very high quality—spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything we needed. The bathroom featured both a bath and a separate shower, all spotlessly clean and finished to a high standard. The SPA was another highlight—calm, beautifully designed, and very high quality. The pool was pleasantly warm, the different saunas added a nice variety, and the locker rooms were spotless and exquisitely maintained. Highly recommend Kempinski Riga for anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay in the city.

It’s very nice and Probably Riga’s best hotel in terms of stars/price range (there is no real ultra luxury competition) but not without its flaws. Check-in was excellent with a lovely charming French lady (Emilie), a really positive, kind, engaging professional welcome. Stayed in a Junior Suite which was very nice, good view and flawless in terms of hard product. Pool/Spa area very nice and service very nice. Stage 22 restaurant/bar very nice and good quality food/cocktails and lovely service - Lobster sandwich was outstanding. Unfortunately on first night my bill included some items I don’t order which was disappointing- they apologized and removed but shouldn’t happen here especially tired travelers should not need to double check their bills. What didn’t I like - well let’s talk about breakfast and Eggs Benedict / Avocado Egg Toast. It was disappointing. We ordered eggs Benedict and avocado with egg. Both came with hard boiled eggs. The staff were all very pleasant but there seemed a lack of oversight or training. Even when I asked to change it they asked what was wrong. The second attempt was better in egg cooking but swimming in very thick hollandaise. Not pleasant. I didn’t risk it the second morning and just ordered fried eggs (which were perfect). That said, the service was all very pleasant and proactive and everyone was kind, despite they can’t match what they aim to offer in the a la carte selection. Concierge/Bellboys were very nice and knowledgeable- had a few casual conversations with them and they clearly enjoyed their jobs and were super nice. Would I stay again, yes as I’m in Riga quite regularly.

The hospitality here at The Grand Hotel was absolutely amazing. The lobby bar and cigar lounge are nice and relaxing amenities. The 22 Lounge up top has a great view with a good sized bar. Elizabeta was an amazing hostess here and made us feel at home! Thank you guys again for having us we will be back!

Very spacious and well-designed rooms. Excellent beds. Location could not be better, most of the things on walking distance. Very friendly staff. Breakfast buffet a bit limited, but omelettes better than in any other 5 star hotel as the cooking technique differs from the normal.

I would like to thank all the staff of the Kempinski Hotel Riga — this is the best hotel I have ever stayed at in Latvia. I highly recommend visiting it; you will definitely be impressed. I wish you continued success and prosperity.

This Hotel is at perfect location with good people with smiling faces to serve you. It always feels so good to visit such places where you are actually welcome. Definitely this will always be on whenever Riga Trip comes up.
