Your guide to the best luxury hotel in Tallinn

Tallinn has one of the most complete medieval old towns in Europe: an almost unbroken city wall with a good twenty towers, inside it a web of lanes of merchant buildings and guild halls, and up on the rock the cathedral hill – a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. And immediately outside begins a city of glass, run up in a few years.Radisson Collection Hotel TallinnRadisson Collection Hotel Tallinn · MaakriFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Tallinn and picked one: a single luxury hotel right on that seam – and at this hotel one benefit hangs on a threshold you cannot see in the square metres.

At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.

One luxury hotel in Tallinn – and who it suits

Our choice for Tallinn is the Radisson Collection Hotel Tallinn in Maakri. It sits at 4.4 out of 5 in our ranking, carries Radisson Rewards, and a night starts at 106 euros.

And then there is a detail that is easy to miss: breakfast here comes with the room from a certain category upwards – and that category is exactly the same size as several cheaper ones.

Our travel advisors’ insider tip

The threshold here is a name, not a number.

Breakfast for two people comes with the room at this hotel from the Premium room upwards. That is an ordinary enough grading – except that you cannot read it off the square metres.

Of the twelve categories, five measure exactly the same 28 square metres. Among them are several Collection and Collection Superior rooms – and the Collection Premium. Same area, same logic of floors, different benefit.

What that means in practice:

• Do not choose by size here. Among the five 28-square-metre categories, floor area decides nothing at all – they are the same size.
• Ask about the word Premium instead. Here it is not decoration but the level from which breakfast comes along.
• Do the sum quickly. At an entry price of 106 euros, breakfast for two is a meaningful share of the room rate. Have us quote you both rates before you decide.

Our advice: tell our travel advisors you are looking from Premium upwards – and whether the view should face the old town. Those two details cut exactly the right one out of twelve categories. You do not need the square metre figure for it.

Where to stay in Tallinn: in Maakri, just outside the old town

The Radisson Collection Hotel Tallinn stands in Maakri, the business district immediately outside the old town. This is the part of Tallinn where the towers are – and from there it is a few minutes on foot into a city that looks like the fifteenth century.

Our recommendation is therefore for anyone who wants to be in the old town in the evening without living in it: Maakri is quiet at night.

What is within reach: the town hall square with the only surviving Gothic town hall in northern Europe and the council pharmacy, working on the same spot since 1422; Toompea, the cathedral hill, with its viewing platforms over the tiled roofs and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral; and Telliskivi, the former factory grounds behind the station, now full of workshops, shops and places to eat.

For orientation: the airport is about ten minutes by car – Tallinn has one of the closest airports to a city centre in Europe. The ferry port for Helsinki is just as near; the crossing takes about two hours. And the park at Kadriorg with Peter the Great’s summer palace begins a quarter of an hour east.

12 categories: the best hotel in Tallinn from the inside

The Radisson Collection Hotel Tallinn carries twelve categories, six of them suites – exactly half.

The ladder runs from 28 to 136 square metres, that is, almost five times over. It has an unusual shape, though: at the bottom five categories stand on the same rung. Five of the twelve measure 28 square metres – several Collection and Collection Superior rooms and the Collection Premium.

Above that it grows generous quickly: a Family Room at 34, then the suites at 56 and 58, a Premium Suite at 82 and at the top the Presidential Suite at 136 square metres.

And here a closer look pays off: floor area does not distinguish the five lowest categories. What distinguishes them is two other things – the word Premium, on which breakfast hangs, and the view.

On the outlook: four categories face the old town. One of the 58-square-metre suites also looks out to sea. For all the others: ask our travel advisors about the outlook – in Maakri the side of the building decides whether you look at gables or at glass.

What a night at the luxury hotel in Tallinn costs

A night at the luxury hotel in Tallinn starts at 106 euros.

Five benefits are included, and they apply from the first night: breakfast for two people from the Premium room upwards, an upgrade on arrival subject to availability, regular points and status benefits with Radisson Rewards, early check-in and late check-out subject to availability, and a welcome letter.

When the city is at its best: from June to August. This far north it barely gets properly dark in June – the old town lies until midnight in a light there is no word for, and you can sit outside on the town hall square.

When it is clearest: in September and October. The summer crowds are gone, the light lies flat across the tiled roofs, and the park at Kadriorg turns.

When it is most atmospheric: in December. The Christmas market stands on the town hall square, it smells of mulled wine and almonds, and with snow on the ground the old town looks like a stage set it is not.

When to enquire early: for the Advent weekends and for the bright weeks around midsummer. With a single hotel in town, lead time decides.

How long to stay: two to three nights for the city – or four if you add a day trip to Helsinki.

And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.

Old town view, welcome letter and exclusive services in a 5-star hotel

Tallinn is one of the few cities where the Middle Ages do not have to be reconstructed. The wall stands, the towers stand, and the lanes behind them are the same.

Three things belong to it. First the council pharmacy on the town hall square: in continuous operation since 1422, with a collection of what used to be sold there – it is a shop, not a museum. Second Toompea: the upper town on the limestone rock, historically reserved for the nobility, with two platforms from which you understand how tightly the lower town is built. Third Telliskivi, the opposite Tallinn – a factory where people now work, cook and design, fifteen minutes and five hundred years away.

What our travel advisors arrange most often: the ferry to Helsinki – two hours out, two back, and you are here again in the evening – and table reservations, because Tallinn’s best places are small and the old town is full in summer.

The benefits of this hotel apply whatever your standing with Radisson Rewards: the points and status benefits come on top. And the welcome letter is exactly what it sounds like – a note in the room, not a condition.

Earn points & use your status in Tallinn

The most widely represented is Radisson Rewards. Booking through suitespot costs you neither points nor an elite night: the rate settles as a direct rate and your status is still recognised. Here is what is available in Tallinn:

At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
