We discovered a lovely hotel for our city trip to Riga. We immediately felt at home in Hotel Justus. Hotel Justus is a four-star boutique hotel right in the centre of the Riga Old Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Old Town can be explored on foot with ease from here. The historic building was renovated in 2009 and now offers a total of 45 rooms. The hotel is located in a space of historic significance. In 1210 Bishop Albert had his Baltic residence right here. The original wooden building was destroyed in a fire in the 17th century and was rebuilt together with the other houses on this road in the 18th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fa\u00e7ade got another make-over in 1874. A tavern moved into the building in the early 19th century and after that, it was home to workshops, pharmaceutical labs and offices. It might be also of interest for cineastes. Soviet movie production companies shot a few films at this location. \u201c17 moments in spring\u201d or \u201cSherlock Holmes and Dr Watson\u201d were shot here and show the street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
