The picturesque capital of Latvia lies on the banks of the river Daugava and is widely considered to be on a cultural and historical par with Prague and Budapest. The Hanseatic city can proudly lay claim to almost a millennia of tradition as the numerous landmarks and historical sights can attest. While located close to the centre of town, this modern Maritim hotel gains its name from the neighbouring landscaped park - affording guests both convenience and tranquillity. UNESCO considers Riga's collection of Art Nouveau architecture to be unparalleled anywhere in the world and the best examples are quickly reached by catching a tram right outside the hotel. Home to the Latvian headquarters of many international companies, Riga's business district is also but a few minutes away.
