The oldest continuously running hotel in Riga, the Metropole has been catering to the city’s visitors from its excellent location by the Latvian National Opera since 1871. A Scandinavian influence is evident in every aspect of the hotel, whether it is the design of the cosy rooms or the cuisine offered in the restaurant. All rooms, smoking and non-smoking, are tastefully decorated in pleasant pastel colours and include satellite TV, wireless internet access, mini-bar, safe, trouser press, and bathrooms with showers. A restaurant and bar are also available.
