Offerings of Latvian hotels for business people

The diverse leisure offerings of Latvian hotels for business people

Hotels in Latvia offer travellers a wide range of activities, depending on the type of hotel and its location. Here are some tips for business people to consider when choosing a hotel to fully enjoy their stay and relax after a long day of work.

Relaxation and Spa services

If you are a fan of a relaxing holiday, pay attention to the offer of spa and health services of your chosen hotel – sauna and bathing areas, pools, and massage and facial treatments. “Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga” has a sophisticated spa area with a sauna, whirlpool and healing treatments. A few minutes away from the largest hotels in Riga is the excellent spa centre “ESPA Riga”, one of the internationally recognised five-star SPA centres in the Baltic States. ESPA prides itself on its ability to combine aromatherapy, thalassotherapy and herbal medicines with the best methods of both ancient and modern well-being and relaxation in the world. In the centre of the capital there is another wonderful place – “Taka SPA”, which offers a relaxing and healing atmosphere with a wide range of services. Visitors can enjoy various water and sauna treatments that promote body relaxation and immune system stimulation. The spa offers massages, body and facial treatments, as well as rituals that ensure complete relaxation.

Sports activities

Latvian hotels like to take care of their customers, so they also offer sports activities in gyms, classes with specialists and bicycle rental for easy city trips. This is especially useful for business people who are staying at the hotel for several days to be able to gather strength for their next work trip. For example, the hotels “Riga Islande Hotel”, “Bellevue Park Hotel Riga”, “Lielupe by Semarah Hotels” offer well-equipped gyms. In turn, Baltic Beach Hotel & SPA has not only a gym, but also the opportunity to exercise under the supervision of a specialist.

Cultural events and excursions

Business tourists are often busy with their daily professional activities, so hotels will help you plan time for small moments of relaxation, organising, for example, cultural events, poetry readings or art exhibitions. This is a great way to experience local culture. Guests of Promenade Hotel can visit nearby cultural objects and exhibitions, and the hotel offers special activities related to the cultural life of Liepāja. In the hotel "Hotel Jūrmala SPA" there is not only a great recreation area, but also the opportunity to listen to insightful educational talks. The hotel "Aston Hotel Riga" is unique – in the public areas and on the rooftop restaurant you can see a seasonal exhibition, which displays paintings by prominent Latvian artists from different generations, starting from the late 1960s to the present day. When choosing a hotel in Riga, one of the advantages is the easy accessibility of various cultural sights. Almost every hotel in the city centre is within walking distance of fascinating museums, such as the Latvian National Museum of Art, the Art Museum Riga Bourse or the Porcelain Museum, as well as the Latvian National Opera and Ballet and the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra in the Great Guild Hall. A walk through the city centre can be complemented by purchasing beautiful and useful souvenirs in nice, high-quality concept stores – "Riija" or "The Munio". Many hotels can provide information about local tourist activities and excursions, as well as guide services that allow you to get to know the area and its most interesting sights.

Bars and live music

Hotels, especially in big cities, love to take care of the well-being of their guests. They offer live music evenings or nightlife options, with the opportunity to enjoy cocktails and meet new people. The Skyline Bar of the Radisson Blu Latvija hotel is one of the most popular bars in Riga with a panoramic view of the city and is ideal for enjoying an evening. The Port Hotel restaurant regularly hosts theme nights and live music concerts.

Nature activities and social events

If the hotel is located near natural attractions (forests, lakes or the seashore), travellers can take advantage of the opportunity to go on a longer or shorter hike, swim or take a boat ride during their vacation. A great place to enjoy all of the above is the hotel “Zeit”, as the Līgatne nature trails and the beautiful Līgatne historical centre and village are nearby. In addition, “Zeit” organises wonderful music evenings. Not far from Riga – in Sigulda – there is an opportunity to organise teambuilding activities for employees. For example, enjoy a ride on the “Zipline” or feel the power of nature in the vertical wind tunnel “Aerodium”. If you have a moment to spare between events within the framework of a conference or business event, you can go explore the Ķemeri bog and its spring shades in an unusual way – with special bog shoes!
