Radisson Collection Astorija Hotel, Vilnius

Radisson Collection Astorija Hotel, Vilnius, is an Art Deco landmark at Didžioji g. 35/2 in the Old Town of Vilnius, Lithuania. It reopened after renovation as a Radisson Collection property and was formerly known as the Radisson Blu Royal Astorija. The hotel sits on Didžioji Street between the Town Hall and the Cathedral Square end of the Old Town, so the main historic sights, restaurants and shops are a few minutes' walk in either direction. The Art Deco architecture gives the building a distinctive presence on the street, and the interiors blend period character with contemporary design. Rooms are offered as Superior Rooms, Deluxe Rooms and Suites, with air conditioning and wifi throughout. Facilities include a restaurant, a bar, a fitness centre and a concierge. The restaurant serves breakfast and meals, and the bar is a popular meeting point for guests and visitors. No spa is listed, but the fitness centre covers basic workout needs. Service is international in style and suits both leisure and business travellers who want a central, recognisable brand in the historic district. Rates typically run from about €130 to €280 per night depending on season and room type, which is mid-to-upper range for Vilnius. Didžioji Street is one of the most atmospheric streets in the city, with churches, galleries and cafés nearby, and the pedestrianised nature of much of the Old Town makes walking the easiest way to get around. The railway and bus stations are roughly a twenty-minute walk or a short taxi ride away.
