Relais le Chevalier design hotel

Relais le Chevalier design hotel began to welcome guests in July 2017, after the renovation of the building, which was built at the end of the 17th century. Architects and construction workers have invested serious effort to preserve the facade and the reliefs on it – the horseshoe on the third floor level and the image of a lion, which is a reminder that once one of the oldest pharmacies in Riga – “The Lion Pharmacy” (“Lauvas aptieka”) was located in this building. They also preserved the beautiful entrance portal and the small cartouche with an inscription in German “Honouring the One Lord is our only glory”.

The high quality of the restoration was appreciated by experts. In 2017, Relais le Chevalier received the Riga Architecture Award for restoration, taking into account the architectural features of the historic Old Town.

The interior of the hotel was created by Italian designers. Following the modern concepts of hospitality, the designers strived to create a sense of cosiness and comfort for the guests. They worked according to the rule: design should not only be beautiful and effective, but also generate positive emotions. Design should provide optimal conditions for both leisure and work activities.

The designers paid great attention to the colours and designed each floor of the hotel in a specific colour scheme. From the second to the fifth floor, there are 23 rooms, some of which overlook the atrium and have no street view. The other rooms have windows with a view of Līvu Square.

On the ground floor you can also find the boutique “Le Chevalier by Akcenty”.

There you can buy jewellery, design objects and decorations made by French, Italian and local artisans. Many of the items are one-offs.

At the top, on the sixth floor, hotel guests have their breakfast while enjoying stunning views of the city rooftops. The layout of this beautiful and bright area was influenced by the image of traditional buildings typical to the capital of Latvia.
