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.

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.
