Four-star hotel on Viru Square, next to the Viru Keskus shopping centre and a few minutes' walk from the Old Town's Viru Gate.
Nordic Hotel Forum is a four-star hotel at Viru väljak 3 on Viru Square in Tallinn, Estonia, next to the Viru Keskus shopping centre and a few minutes' walk from the Old Town's Viru Gate. The square is one of the busiest points in the centre, with trams, buses and taxis available outside, so the airport, the passenger port and the Baltic Station are all straightforward to reach. Walking through the Viru Gate leads onto Viru Street and then to Town Hall Square in a few minutes, which gives guests access to the medieval quarter without staying inside it. The hotel is a modern urban property whose appeal is convenience, with good transport links and shopping on the doorstep. Room types include Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms and Suites, and rates generally range from about €80 to €170 per night depending on the season. Amenities include a restaurant, a bar, wifi, a fitness centre and a sauna, which gives the hotel a reasonable wellness offer for its price band. Breakfast is typically served in the restaurant, and the nearby shopping centre and Old Town offer many more dining options for lunch and dinner. Service is business-friendly and efficient, and the hotel attracts conference visitors, short-stay leisure travellers and groups. Compared with the Old Town boutique hotels, it offers larger rooms and a more contemporary feel but less medieval atmosphere. Compared with the neighbouring Original Sokos Hotel Viru, it is a smaller, four-star alternative on the same square. The location suits visitors who want to combine sightseeing with shopping and who value easy transport connections. Rooms facing the square may hear traffic, so a higher floor can help light sleepers.
