Member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, this design-led property features contemporary art throughout and individually designed rooms. Housed in a renovated 19th-century building with modern Scandinavian aesthetics. Award-winning restaurant and excellent cocktail bar.
Hotel Bergs is a design-led boutique property at Elizabetes iela 83/85 in Riga's Quiet Centre neighbourhood, situated within the historic Berga Bazars — a handsomely preserved late-19th-century commercial arcade that forms a small urban village of boutique shops, galleries, and dining venues. The hotel is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and has earned an international reputation for its collection of original contemporary artworks, individually designed rooms, and the quality of its restaurant. The property occupies a carefully restored 19th-century building with the courtyard architecture characteristic of Riga's Jugendstil-era commercial blocks. The interior design approach draws on a refined Nordic Scandinavian aesthetic — clean lines, natural materials, and bespoke furniture — punctuated throughout by rotating exhibitions of Baltic and international contemporary art. No two rooms are identical: each has been individually designed with different layouts, colour palettes, and custom furnishings. Accommodation categories extend from standard suites to generous premium suites with separate living areas and full butler service. All rooms provide high-speed wireless internet, flat-screen televisions, minibar, and premium bath amenities. Dining at Hotel Bergs centres on the award-winning in-house restaurant, which has established itself as one of Riga's finest tables for modern European and Latvian cuisine. The kitchen presents a seasonally driven menu with sophisticated wine pairings and exceptional presentation. A separate cocktail bar adjoining the restaurant is known locally for its expertly crafted drinks programme, attracting Riga's design and creative community alongside hotel guests. Spa treatments are available through a dedicated in-house wellness menu, and a fitness centre is available to all guests. A beautifully maintained courtyard garden provides a tranquil outdoor space during the warmer months. The hotel's location in Berga Bazars places guests equidistant between Old Town's historic core and Alberta iela — one of Europe's most celebrated Jugendstil streetscapes. The concierge team arranges gallery visits, private cultural tours, and restaurant reservations across the city.
