Metropole Hotel is officially opened in Riga

According to hotel representatives, the first hotels in Riga appeared in the second half of the 18th century and among them – Metropole, which has retained its historical name to this day and was the oldest and first business class hotel in independent Latvia.

The hotel has 88 rooms of various categories and areas, including 4 Superior rooms (22-24 m2), 4 Executive rooms (32-34 m2), 1 Junior Suite (50 m2), 2 Suite rooms (80-110 m2), 1 Presidential Suite (190 m2).

The hotel building was built in 1871 according to the design of architect Edelson. An elevator for guests’ convenience was installed in the building in 1927.

The reconstruction project has been gentle and sensitive to historical values.

De Commerce Gastro Pub 1871 is located on the ground floor of the hotel, where it has historically been located.

Atgriezies no izbraukuma spēlēm, Rīgas Dinamo hokejists Kaspars Saulietis brīvdienu izmantoja kopīgā atpūtā ar ģimeni – viņš ar sievu Katrīni un meitām Kortniju un Keriju devās uz Lielupi, kur jūras vēja un priežu meža ieskauta ērti novietota Lielupe by Semarah Hotels.

“Esam daudz kur bijuši un droši varam teikt, ka šādu vietu ir retums – kur tik ļoti viss līdz sīkumiem padomāts par ģimenēm ar bērniem un viņu ērtībām. Mēs ar Kasparu varējām nesteidzīgi baudīt atpūtu baseinā, džakuzi, pirtīs un trenažieru zālē, lieki nesatraucoties par to, kā jūtas meitas, ko viņas dara, vai viņām nav garlaicīgi. Bērniem šī viesnīca piedāvā tik daudz un aizraujošu nodarbju, ka līdzi paņemtās mīļākās rotaļlietas bija liekas. Mēs noteikti šeit vēl atgriezīsimies un visiem citiem iesakām izbaudīt ģimeniskas brīvdienas viesnīcā Lielupe.” par atpūtu Jūrmalas viesnīcā gandarīta ir Katrīne Sauliete.

Sauliešu meitām šis brauciens uz Jūrmalu bija pārsteigums, un, uzzinot, ka paliks viesnīcā pa nakti, Kortnija un Kerija bija stāvā sajūsmā. Ierodoties viesnīcā, Katrīnes un Kaspara atvases reģistrējās īpašā recepcijā bērniem. Viesnīcas administratores apdāvināja meitenes ar košiem baloniem, krāsainiem zīmuļiem, krāsojamām lapām un izsniedza speciālu reģistrācijas anketu bērniem, ko Kerija ar prieku aizpildīja, sarakstot to arī jaunākās māsas vietā.

After less than a year of reconstruction, the former Jurmala hotel Lielupe has been opened, where the 4-star hotel Lielupe by Semarah Hotels has now officially started operating, informs the hotel representatives.

Approximately 15 million euros have been invested in the interior reconstruction of the hotel.

“We are pleased that our hotel has become not only more modern, but also more friendly for families with children and lovers of various SPA services. In addition, we plan that after the reconstruction, our offer will seem interesting not only to the guests of the city, but also to the local residents. While the younger generation will relax in the Children’s Club, parents will be able to enjoy the SPA and Wellness Center. In turn, the conference rooms will be able to host both local and international events,” emphasizes the hotel manager Juris Baumerts.
