Neiburgs occupies an Art Nouveau building on Jauniela, beside Riga Cathedral, that was built in 1903 for the merchant Ludvigs Neiburgs to designs by the Baltic German architect Wilhelm Bokslaff. The facade and stairwell keep their period character, while the rooms are modern and apartment-like, from studio apartments to two-storey suites that suit families or longer stays. Upper floors look over the Old Town and across to the left bank of the Daugava. The Neiburgs Restaurant, open since 2009, is one of the Old Town’s respected dining rooms, and a small spa area with a sauna and steam bath helps after a cold day of walking.
Who it suits: couples and design lovers who want Art Nouveau character without leaving the Old Town, and families or longer-stay guests who appreciate the extra space of an apartment-style room.
Trade-offs: the Old Town location means limited car access and some evening noise on busy nights, so ask for a room on a higher floor. The spa is small, so do not book for the wellness facilities alone.
