A brand new four-star just 5 minutes’ walk from the Old Town, the Tallinnk City Hotel looks set to carve itself an easy place among the city’s other mega-hotels. With its striking metal facade the Tallinnk City Hotel stands directly opposite the new Viru shopping centre, both of them part of the new generation of Tallinn services opened in 2004.

The foyer and the rooms are beautifully designed in the expensive, minimalist style so loved by modern Estonians. And while this look might seem bland to some, considerable attention has gone into the materials and the aesthetics, lending intimacy and style to a hotel that, with its ten storeys, 332 rooms and endless corridors, could otherwise feel sterile.

Services are good – with an hourly sauna, nightclub, travel agency, restaurants and classy lobby bar as well as the obligatory business centre.
