Intimate luxury boutique hotel in a restored 1880s Art Nouveau building in Old Town. Features minimalist Nordic design, high ceilings, and modern amenities. Michelin-recognized restaurant serves innovative Latvian cuisine. Rooftop terrace with Old Town views.
Neiburgs Hotel is an intimate luxury boutique property at Jauniela 25/27, deep within the cobblestone lanes of Riga's Old Town. The hotel occupies a meticulously restored 1880s Art Nouveau building that has been at this address since 1903, and its historically sensitive renovation is considered one of the most successful examples of adaptive reuse in Latvia. High ceilings, original decorative stucco, and the period proportions of the building have been preserved throughout, paired with minimalist Nordic furnishings and contemporary infrastructure. The hotel is family-owned, and this shapes a culture of personal attention and genuine hospitality that distinguishes Neiburgs from larger, more institutional properties in the city. The 55 guest rooms and suites are individually appointed with restrained elegance — linen textiles, warm wood tones, carefully chosen artworks, and en-suite bathrooms with premium fittings. Suites include separate living areas with views over the narrow Old Town lanes or towards the hotel's rooftop terrace. The in-house restaurant has earned significant critical recognition, appearing in Michelin guide recommendations for Riga and establishing itself as one of the city's leading tables for contemporary Latvian cuisine. The kitchen works closely with Latvian farmers and foragers to present a menu driven by seasonal, locally sourced ingredients — wild mushrooms, Baltic fish, heritage grains, and foraged herbs — delivered in refined preparations. The restaurant is open to outside guests, and reservations are strongly advised. The rooftop terrace is a prized space during Latvia's extended summer evenings, offering views across the medieval roofscape of Old Town, the spires of Riga's historic churches, and the distant horizon. A bar serves cocktails and an extensive wine list. The hotel's location in the heart of Old Town places Dome Cathedral, Riga Castle, the Three Brothers ensemble, and the Great Guild Hall all within a five-minute walk. The concierge team arranges private city tours, boat excursions on the Daugava, and access to Latvia's wider cultural programme. Old Town's pedestrian-priority streets mean vehicle access is restricted — guests should plan accordingly.
