Hotel in Tallinn, Estonia
Schlössle Hotel
Check rates & availability on Booking.comA member of the Leading Hotels of the World, Schlössle occupies a meticulously restored 17th-century merchant's house in the heart of Tallinn's Old Town. The 23 individually designed rooms blend period details with contemporary luxury, and the intimate atmosphere makes it one of Estonia's most exclusive addresses.
Schlössle Hotel occupies a cluster of restored 17th-century merchant's houses at Pühavaimu 13/15 in the oldest quarter of Tallinn's UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, Estonia. The property is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, an affiliation that places it among fewer than 400 independently operated luxury hotels globally and signals a level of personal service rarely found in larger chain properties. The address is one of the most prized in the Baltic states, a narrow cobblestone lane connecting the Old Town's main commercial artery with the Church of the Holy Spirit.
The hotel comprises just 23 individually decorated rooms and suites, each an exercise in considered restraint: exposed medieval stonework, hand-crafted wooden furniture, carefully chosen artworks, and fine linens combine to create interiors that feel both historically authentic and genuinely comfortable. Room sizes vary from intimate superior doubles to larger suites with separate sitting areas. Guests receive butler service, and the concierge team's knowledge of Tallinn's cultural calendar, restaurant scene, and private tour options is exceptional.
Dining at Schlössle takes place in the ground-floor restaurant, which serves modern European cuisine with Estonian seasonal ingredients in a vaulted medieval setting. Breakfast is consistently praised and served in a charming room overlooking the cobblestone courtyard. The hotel does not operate a full spa, but a private sauna is available for guest use and the concierge can arrange wellness appointments at nearby facilities.
The medieval courtyard is one of the hotel's most distinctive assets — a sheltered stone yard that in summer hosts candlelit dinners and functions as a tranquil retreat from the Old Town lanes. In winter the courtyard is dimly lit and atmospheric, framed by centuries-old stone walls.
Schlössle Hotel suits couples seeking a romantic and historically immersive stay, discerning solo travellers, and anyone for whom authentic architectural character matters. Its small scale means it books out quickly in summer and during peak festival periods; advance reservations are essential between May and September. The hotel is also well-regarded for small private events and intimate weddings set in the courtyard.

- The hotel's restaurant is open to outside guests but the intimate scale means reservations are essential; non-guests should book at least a week ahead in peak season.
