Telegraaf Spa

Telegraaf Spa is the wellness facility of Hotel Telegraaf at Vene 9 in Tallinn's Old Town, Harju County, Estonia. The hotel occupies a restored building dating from 1878, and the spa carries over that historic character, with an intimate, elegant and unhurried atmosphere that contrasts with the larger water-park complexes elsewhere in the city. The setting is a small hotel spa rather than a mass-market aqua centre, which suits visitors who want a quiet treatment after a day of sightseeing in the medieval streets just outside the door. The facilities include an indoor pool, a sauna and treatment rooms. The pool is the centrepiece, set within the restored historic building, and it gives guests a place to swim or relax between treatments. The treatment menu focuses on massage and facial treatments, with prices from approximately €60 (about $65), and sessions typically last 30 to 90 minutes. Because the spa is compact, the number of treatment rooms is limited, and reservations are the normal way to secure a slot. The spa is open daily to hotel guests and by reservation to others, so non-guests should arrange access in advance rather than expect walk-in entry; the hotel can be reached on +372 600 0600, and current details are published on telegraafhotel.com. The hotel's reputation is strong, and the spa benefits from it, with a visitor rating of about 4.6 out of 5 in the collected data. Visitors commonly use it as a restorative end to a day on foot in the Old Town, or as a rainy-day activity during the cold months from October to March. Its central location means no transport is needed from most Old Town accommodation. As in other Estonian spas, a shower before using the pool and sauna is expected, and swimwear is required in the pool area. Guests should ask at reception about robes, towels and treatment preparation when booking, since arrangements differ between treatments and hotel packages.
