Hugely popular with visiting Americans who like the assurance of something they’ve slept in before, this world classic’s Vilnius incarnation is located just north of the river close to the business district. Swish and decidedly modern, the rooms all have that typical Holiday Inn feel, plus there’s an excellent little bar at street level complete with complimentary press where it’s possible to spend an entire evening watching the world go by and drinking the night away on your company’s expense account. A taxi ride to Old Town is about 15Lt during the day.
