Luxury boutique hotel in a 13th-century warehouse building in the heart of Old Town. Combines medieval architecture with modern comforts, featuring exposed brick walls, designer furnishings, and spa facilities. Wine cellar restaurant in atmospheric vaulted basement.
Hotel Justus is a four-star boutique hotel located at Jauniela 24 in the heart of Riga's Old Town, Latvia, within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic centre. The building sits on land with a documented history stretching back to 1210, when Bishop Albert selected this area of the Baltic coast for his residence, and the property later developed into an 18th-century structure that retains significant architectural character. The Dome Cathedral, one of Riga's most iconic landmarks and the largest medieval church in the Baltic states, is only steps away, and the entire cobblestone network of the Old Town is immediately accessible on foot.
The hotel offers 45 uniquely decorated rooms, each incorporating exposed historic brickwork alongside carefully selected art objects and contemporary furnishings — a balance that makes Hotel Justus feel characterfully Baltic rather than generically international. Room categories span six types: Single, Standard Double or Twin, Superior Double or Twin, Family Suite, Junior Suite, and Luxury Suite, accommodating a range of budgets and group sizes within the boutique setting. Suites are particularly well-appointed for guests seeking additional space or a more memorable stay in the Old Town.
Dining centres on the on-site restaurant, which serves European cuisine with an emphasis on seasonal Latvian produce and regional flavour — a reflection of the broader Latvian culinary revival that has gained recognition across the Baltic region in recent years. Bar service and room service are available for guests preferring to dine privately. A sauna is available for guest use, allowing visitors to experience the traditional Baltic bathing culture that remains central to everyday life in Latvia and its neighbouring countries.
The hotel's team is noted for personalised service, with concierge assistance available for tour bookings, restaurant reservations, and private arrangements. Conference facilities make the property suitable for small corporate events or private meetings. The surrounding area offers amber shops, gallery spaces, and traditional Riga restaurants within moments of the entrance. The hotel offers a direct booking discount via its official website, providing savings over standard third-party rates.
