This new business-class hotel is located in the very heart of Old Riga, a few steps from the Statue of Roland, a hero of medieval epic poems. The hotel offers three conference-halls, a bar and a restaurant, a gym and a sauna. The hotel consists of three buildings: a newly-built glass one and two authentic houses, different in colors. The remains of 16th-century walls and the hotel's name determined the restaurant's decoration: knighthood and medieval stylized paintings. The focus here is an old draw-well under the glass -- one may see the water level of Daugava River. The hotel lobby represents the combination of three elements: air and light flows through the glass ceiling; fire is burning in the fireplace; and a tiny waterfall completes the picture. A lobby-bar leads to the Roland-room -- the most famous conference-hall in the hotel. Two of the walls are glass and open a picturesque view to the town streets. Massive wooden furniture and wooden statue of Roland seemingly draw you to the times of the Round Table. Twenty nine hotel suits have everything necessary for sufficient work and comfortable rest.
