Dome Hotel & Spa

Dome Hotel & Spa is a Relais & Chateaux-listed luxury hotel at Miesnieku iela 4, a few steps from the Dome Cathedral in the heart of Riga's Old Town (Vecriga), Latvia. Dome Square is the hotel's immediate neighbour, which places St. Peter's Church, the House of the Blackheads, the Riga Central Market and the Old Town's main restaurants within a short walk. The area is largely pedestrian-oriented, so the setting is atmospheric and busy with outdoor terraces in summer, and quieter in the evening once day visitors leave. The hotel occupies a historic building and presents a refined, traditional style that suits couples and visitors looking for a special-occasion stay. Rooms are offered as Superior and Deluxe Rooms and Suites, all with air conditioning and wifi. Amenities include a restaurant, a bar and a spa in the building, which makes it a good choice in the cold months when a massage or relaxation session is welcome. Breakfast is available for guests. A 24-hour front desk handles luggage, taxis and local recommendations, and the hotel phone is +371 6750 9010. Service is personal and in keeping with the standards of the Relais & Chateaux association, which emphasises character, local cuisine and individual attention. Indicative rates run from about 150 to 280 euros per night, with the highest prices in June to August and the December Christmas market period, when the Old Town is at its liveliest. Because Dome Square is in a pedestrian zone, arriving by taxi and checking arrival instructions with the hotel in advance is sensible. The railway station and Riga International Airport are both a short taxi ride away. Visitors who want to be at the centre of the historic quarter, with the cathedral's organ concerts and Old Town dining on the doorstep, often favour this address over hotels on the boulevard ring.
