Hotel in Centrs, Riga

Welcome to The Benjamin House, a historic building just a short 1312 foot walk from Riga Old Town and right next to the peaceful Vērmane Garden. The building once belonged to the famous Latvian press queen Emilija Benjamina and her husband in the 1920s-1930s, and it still carries the atmosphere and elegance of that era, inspired by Florence Renaissance architecture. Today, the historic character of the house is thoughtfully blended with modern styles and contemporary art, creating a space where past and present meet. The Benjamin House is not only a hotel but also a cultural venue that hosts a variety of events, including concerts, theater performances, conferences, weddings and many other gatherings. Historically, the house itself was always intended as a place for hosting events and bringing people together, and today we continue that tradition. Within the house you will also find The Benjamin House Bar, open from Wednesday to Saturday, where guests and locals can enjoy drinks in a relaxed historic setting. Our hotel offers 60 rooms where classic interior elements mix with modern comfort, including air conditioning and Smart TVs. Guests can also stay in the special suite where Emilija Benjamina herself once lived, offering a unique connection to the building’s past. The Benjamin House operates as a self check in hotel with no on site reception. Guests receive their access instructions in advance and can check in independently at any time.

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: I stayed at The Benjamin House for only one night, but it felt like so much more than a hotel stay. It felt like stepping into one of the most fascinating chapters of Latvia’s history. Before arriving, I had read a biography of Emīlija Benjamiņa, whose courage, vision, entrepreneurial spirit, and determination built Latvia’s greatest publishing empire. Knowing her remarkable story and the tragic way it ended, made walking through this magnificent mansion a deeply moving experience. The building itself dates back to 1876 and became the Benjamiņš family residence in 1928. Every corner tells a story. I found myself admiring the stunning stained-glass windows, the beautifully carved wooden ceilings, the elegant chandeliers, and the countless architectural details that have been lovingly preserved. If you appreciate history, architecture, or interior design, this hotel is an absolute treasure. The location is perfect, overlooking Vērmanes Garden in the very heart of Riga. Sitting on the terrace with my book, looking across the park, I could almost imagine the glamorous evenings of the 1930s, when Emīlija and Antons Benjamiņš welcomed writers, artists, politicians, and diplomats into their home. It truly felt as though I had travelled nearly a century back in time. I also loved the peaceful inner courtyard, where you can enjoy a coffee, a glass of wine, or simply work in the shade away from the city’s bustle. Benjamin House is way more than a beautiful hotel. It is a place where you become part of Latvia’s cultural heritage for a night. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in Riga. It is a destination in itself.

Negative: Nothing

Summary: A place where history, architecture, and the story of one extraordinary woman come together to create an unforgettable e
