Tallink Spa & Conference Hotel

Tallink Spa & Conference Hotel is a hotel opened in 2007 at Sadama 11a, beside the Port of Tallinn in Estonia. It stands in the harbour district north-east of the Old Town, roughly a 15-minute walk from the medieval centre, and is conveniently placed for ferry passengers arriving from Helsinki and Stockholm. The Old Town, the Telliskivi creative area and the Rotermann Quarter are all within a short tram ride or walk, and the passenger terminals are close to the door. The hotel is run by the Tallink group, whose ferries serve the port, and its character is that of a large, modern, functional property combining a spa with conference space, with a mix of leisure families, ferry travellers and business groups. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms and Family Rooms, and rates run roughly €70-150 per night depending on date. The main attraction is the Aqua Spa water and sauna complex, which is listed alongside a pool, a sauna, a restaurant, wifi and conference facilities among the amenities. Guests can typically use the spa and pool areas after sightseeing, and families often choose the hotel for the water facilities. Breakfast is normally served in the hotel restaurant, which also offers other meals. Service is geared towards volume, with a reception that handles ferry-related questions, luggage and transport, and conference organisers can book meeting rooms for events. The harbour location is less atmospheric than the Old Town but practical, with straightforward access to the port, and trams and taxis link the area with the airport and city centre. Rooms with views over the harbour or the Gulf of Finland are a pleasant bonus, and a room request can be made at booking. For visitors who combine a ferry journey with a spa stay in Estonia's capital, the hotel offers a convenient and moderately priced base.
