In recent years, the hotel sector in the Baltic countries has undergone rapid changes – it is expanding, renewing itself, and surprising us with increasingly modern solutions. Newly opened hotels not only offer exceptional design and high-quality services, but are also becoming attractions on the cultural map of cities. Let’s take a look at what’s in store for the hotel market in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia – from luxury to modern minimalism.

New Hotel Highlights

• In October 2025, the international chain hotel AC Hotel by Marriott Vilnius, 4* opened its doors to residents and guests of the city. It is the only AC Hotel brand hotel in Lithuania.

“Michelin Key” Hotels in the Baltics

“The Michelin Keys” are a new initiative from the renowned “Michelin Guide” restaurant selection. It is equivalent to the “Michelin” restaurant stars, except that the awards are given to hotels. Instead of stars, hotels are awarded “keys” on a scale of one to three, based on criteria such as design, authenticity, and impeccable guest service. Around 7,000 hotels worldwide have already received these awards, with France (203), Italy (188), and the United Kingdom (124) leading the way. 

At the global ceremony, which was held in Europe for the first time this year, hotels in the Baltic countries did not go unnoticed. A total of 7 hotels received the prestigious award:

• “The Burman Hotel”, 5* (Tallinn, Estonia) – 2 keys.
• “Schlössle Hotel”, 5* (Tallinn, Estonia) – 1 key.
• “A22 Hotel”, 5* (Riga, Latvia) – 1 key.
