Palace Hotel Tallinn stands on Freedom Square, the open plaza at the edge of the Old Town where Estonia’s War of Independence Victory Column rises beside St John’s Church. It is a member of Radisson Individuals and has long been counted among the capital’s well-located mid-to-upper hotels. From the front door you can reach the Viru Gate, the Town Hall Square and the foot of Toompea in a few minutes, and the square itself is a useful transport and orientation point with trams, buses and taxis nearby. The hotel is a good choice when you want to be at the centre of things without paying Old Town prices, with traditional rooms, a restaurant and bar, and the kind of reliable service you expect from an established city hotel.
Who it suits
First-time visitors, couples and rail or ferry travellers who value a central address and quick walks to everything. The location is its strongest asset: it is easy to dip back to the room between sights and to walk home late.
Trade-offs
As an established hotel it feels more traditional than trendy, and rooms vary by category and floor, so choose the room type that fits your budget and ask about quiet rooms if the square’s traffic bothers you. Check what your rate includes.
