Overview - Ekes Konvents Hotel
The 3 star Ekes Konvents Hotel is one of Riga's most historic buildings, located in the heart of Old Riga. In 1435 this small 3 storey building was Riga's first hostel for travellers. Now tourists will enjoy a warm welcome almost 600 years later! This hotel has recently re-opened following a sympathetic refurbishment, retaining a wealth of character. Hand crafted furniture inspired by original designs grace the public rooms and bedrooms and from parts of the hotel you can enjoy views of three medieval churches, St. Peteris', St. Janis' and St. Juris'.
You will find gift shops, art galleries, bars, museums and an open-air café which operates daily in summer in the vicinity of this hotel.
