Destination
Latvia
Luxury hotel reviews, travel guides, and stories.
Latvia might not be the first destination on everyone’s radar, but we found it to be a hidden gem filled with an unexpected amount of soul. In Riga, there is this beautiful "old meets new" energy—a sense of history preserved in the architecture while the culinary scene pushes bold, modern boundaries. It feels like a place that rewards curiosity, where you can wander through cobblestone streets and find pockets of understated luxury that feel incredibly authentic to the region.
We were particularly struck by the adventurous spirit of the local food scene; Restaurant 3 served up wild, flavorful dishes that felt both modern and rooted in tradition, while 3 Pavaru offered us a truly experimental dining experience that was as fun as it was delicious. After exploring the city’s vibrant flavors, retreating to Gallery Park Hotel felt like a dream. Staying in such a beautifully preserved mansion with period decor allowed us to soak in the history of Riga in the most comfortable way possible.
