10 Best Hotels in Vilnius, Lithuania — Old Town & Uzupis (2026 Review)

Grand Hotel Kempinski Vilnius is the city's luxury flagship, sitting right across from Cathedral Square in the UNESCO Old Town. The cream-coloured neoclassical building dates to 1894 and was fully restored before opening in 2014 as the first Kempinski-branded hotel in the Baltic region. Its 96 rooms and suites are done in classic contemporary European style, and many look straight out at the cathedral and its white belfry. The headline draws are the La Prairie spa, the Swiss luxury brand, plus an indoor pool, a full gym, and Telegrafas, a restaurant known for a warm classic room and modern European cooking. It is a few minutes on foot to Gediminas Tower, Gedimino Avenue, and the Palace of the Grand Dukes. Reviews line up on the location, the warm service, and unusually comfortable beds. It scores 9.0/10 and suits couples and luxury travellers who want to be in the dead centre of the old city.

Hotel PACAI is a Baroque palace pushing 350 years old, once home to the Pac family — powerful Lithuanian-Polish nobles of the 17th century. Today it is a 5-star design hotel with 104 rooms under Design Hotels by Marriott, sitting on Didžioji Street in the heart of Vilnius Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a 1-minute walk to Town Hall Square and about 5 minutes to Vilnius Cathedral. Architect Saulius Mikštas spent close to a decade on the restoration before it opened in 2016, the same year it took Best New Hotel in Europe at the European Hotel Design Awards. The 17th-century fresco ceiling in the lobby, a Turkish-style hammam tucked into the old brick basement, an interior courtyard, and the Nineteen18 farm-to-table restaurant are the highlights that make reviewers call it the most memorable stay in the city. Rooms start around $223 a night. Best for couples and design lovers who want to sleep inside living history.

Stikliai Hotel is the legendary boutique of Vilnius, set inside a Gothic-Baroque building once used by glassmakers — in Lithuanian, Stikliai means glassmaker — and dating back to the 16th century in the heart of the Jewish Quarter of the old town. It is the only Relais & Chateaux member in all of Lithuania, and the restoration was careful enough to win a Europa Nostra award. All 45 rooms and suites are different, many opening onto small private courtyards, some keeping their original oak beams. The detail every review fixes on is the basement pool under an ancient arched brick ceiling, paired with a sauna and steam room. The restaurant serves classic European food in a room that genuinely feels like dinner inside a historic building. It is a 5-minute walk to Vilnius Cathedral and the main square. Overall 9.1/10 — best for couples and the design-loving who fall for old-Europe character.

Radisson Collection Astorija Hotel Vilnius has been open since 1901 — a graceful cream Art Nouveau building sitting right on Town Hall Square (Rotušės aikštė) in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Old Town. A major renovation wrapped in 2021, and the building joined Radisson Collection, the top tier of the Radisson group. There are 119 rooms and suites; some open onto the square and the red-tiled rooftops of the old city running off into the distance. Inside you get an indoor pool, a spa, a sauna, a fitness room, the all-day French restaurant Brasserie de Verres en Vers (an Accor brand), and a lobby bar that keeps its original stucco and chandeliers. It is a 4-minute walk to the Gates of Dawn and 7 minutes to Vilnius Cathedral; the airport (VNO) is about 15 minutes by car. Agoda gives it 8.7 and Booking 8.8, with rates from about $149 a night — a fair pick for couples who want Old Town charm without walking far.

Narutis Hotel is the oldest hotel in Vilnius, sitting on Pilies Street, the main pedestrian strip through the UNESCO Old Town. The original building is a 16th-century merchant house that has operated as a hotel since 1581, carefully restored into a 5-star boutique of 48 rooms and suites under Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Many rooms keep their real timber-beam ceilings, old brick walls and traces of 16th-17th-century frescoes. The detail reviewers agree on most is the small underground indoor pool set in a vaulted brick room — a deep soak after a long day of walking — plus a spa, a warm library lounge stacked with books, and a fresh breakfast served in a vaulted cellar. It is a 5-minute walk to Cathedral Square and 7 minutes to Gediminas Tower. Rates from about $137 a night make this an approachable price for a 5-star of this kind, and the overall score lands at 9.0/10.

Shakespeare Boutique Hotel sits on Bernardinu street in the middle of Vilnius Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage district. The building is a baroque palace from the 17th century — over 400 years old — that was restored and opened as a hotel in 2004. It holds just 23 rooms, each named and decorated after a classic writer like Shakespeare, Hemingway, Pushkin, Goethe and Dante. The big draw is the location: Cathedral Square (Katedros aikštė) is 50 metres away, about a 1-minute walk, and Gediminas Tower is roughly 5 minutes on foot. Inside it feels like an old English library — thick carpets, carved oak furniture, bookshelves up the walls, and fireplaces in some rooms. Reviews on Agoda (9.1) and Booking (9.2) agree the staff feel like hosts welcoming you into their own home. Breakfast is made fresh and brought to your table in a wood-toned room that seats about 20. Rooms start at $100 a night. Overall 9.1/10.

Artagonist Art Hotel is a 34-room boutique tucked into a red-brick building that has stood since the 15th century on Pilies Street, the oldest cobblestone lane in Vilnius Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. What sets it apart from the usual boutique is that every room and common area is hung with original handmade work by contemporary Lithuanian artists — paintings, ceramics, sculpture, decor you won't find anywhere else. Walk out the door and it's roughly 3 minutes to both Cathedral Square and Town Hall Square, with the Gate of Dawn a short climb beyond. Real reviews agree the walking location is superb, the staff feel like friends, breakfast is cooked fresh and served warm, and the rooms stay quieter than you'd expect for a pedestrian street. Tripadvisor ranks it #3 in Vilnius, with 9.0 on Agoda and 9.2 on Booking. Rates start around $91 a night — a lot of character for the money. Overall 9.0/10.

Grand Hotel Vilnius, Curio Collection by Hilton is a 5-star, 93-room boutique on Vilniaus gatvė, facing Cathedral Square in the heart of Vilnius Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The pale classical stone facade was kept; inside, it was rebuilt as a contemporary hotel with custom-made furniture and curated art by Lithuanian artists. Rooms run warm in tone, with high ceilings, and some look straight out at the cathedral roof and bell tower. The Telegrafas restaurant does modern European food on seasonal Baltic ingredients, and there is a spa, fitness, and a lobby that reviewers say feels gallery-quiet. On foot you can reach Gediminas Castle, Pilies street, and the Old Town cafes; VNO airport is a 15-minute drive. It scores 8.9/10 — Agoda 8.9, Booking 9.0, Tripadvisor 4.5 — and suits couples and culture travelers who value location and design.

Hotel Vilnia is a 24-room boutique tucked into a 19th-century red-brick building right on the River Vilnia, on the outer edge of Vilnius' Old Town. Step out the door, cross a small bridge, and you are inside the Republic of Užupis — the artists' quarter with its own constitution pinned to an alley wall. It is about 8 minutes on foot to Gediminas Tower, the hilltop fort with a view over the whole city, and roughly 12 minutes to Cathedral Square. The pull here is the old building itself — exposed brick walls and original timber beams paired with warm-toned furniture, with many windows opening onto the river and the trees on both banks. Real reviews praise the warm, friendly staff and a fresh-made breakfast that punches above the hotel's size. The trade-off you hear most: a historic building means no elevator, and a few rooms run small. Rooms start from about $77 a night.

Conti Hotel Vilnius is a 4-star hotel of around 109 rooms on Raugyklos Street in the Naujamiestis (New Town) district, just 800 metres from the UNESCO-listed Old Town walls — an easy 10-minute walk to the Gates of Dawn. The building started life as a late-1980s Soviet-era block and was reworked into a hotel later, keeping its solid masonry and ceilings taller than the modern norm. Reviewers agree most on the breakfast buffet, which mixes Lithuanian and Western options. You also get private parking inside the building (rare in this area), a 24-hour gym, an on-site restaurant and bar, and front-desk staff many guests call more helpful than expected. Rooms start around $54 a night, strong value next to Old Town 4-stars that run close to double. It scores 8.5/10 and suits anyone who wants full facilities without paying Old Town prices.
