Radisson Blu Daugava Hotel, Riga is a four-star hotel at Kuģu iela 24 in the Zemgales priekšpilsēta district of Riga, set on the left bank of the Daugava River directly across from the Old Town skyline. The hotel pairs contemporary guest rooms with a refined restaurant, a bar and a spa, and it appeals to business travelers, couples and visitors who want river views and a short hop to the medieval core. Guest reviews average 4.2 across more than 3,500 ratings.
What to Expect at Radisson Blu Daugava Hotel, Riga
The setting is the main draw. Zemgales priekšpilsēta is a quieter residential and business quarter on the Pārdaugava side, and upper-floor rooms facing the river look across the water to the spires of St. Peter’s Church, Riga Cathedral and the Old Town rooftops. Rooms follow the Radisson Blu house style: clean-lined furniture, work desks, blackout curtains and modern bathrooms, with higher categories adding more space and lounge access where offered. The result is polished and functional rather than ornate, which suits short city stays and work trips.
Beyond the rooms, the hotel concentrates on three amenities that guests mention most: an on-site restaurant serving Latvian and international dishes, a bar for evening drinks, and a spa with relaxation facilities for unwinding after a day of sightseeing or meetings. Because the neighborhood is calmer than the Old Town, nights tend to be quiet, a practical advantage in a city where weekend noise in the historic center can carry late. Check the hotel’s official page for current room categories, restaurant menus and spa treatments before booking.
- River-view rooms: Higher-floor rooms facing the Daugava frame the Old Town skyline, especially striking at sunset and after dark when the spires are lit.
- Refined on-site restaurant: A hotel dining room offering breakfast and a la carte meals, convenient on arrival days or in winter when walking to the center is less appealing.
- Hotel bar: A relaxed spot for cocktails, local beer and Latvian spirits such as Riga Black Balsam, a herbal liqueur you will see across the city.
- Spa and wellness area: Relaxation facilities suited to cold-weather stays and recovery after long days on foot.
- Business-ready setup: Desks, reliable Wi-Fi and meeting-friendly public spaces make the property a practical base for conferences and corporate travel.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Riga International Airport is roughly 15 to 20 minutes away by taxi, and the central railway and bus stations sit across the river in the center, reachable by a short cab ride or by city tram and bus. For the best views, request a high floor on the river side when booking, and consider visiting between May and September when long daylight hours make river walks pleasant, or in December when Riga’s Christmas markets draw crowds to the Old Town. Reserve the spa and restaurant in advance during conference weeks and summer weekends. Modern hotels in this category typically offer elevators and accessible room options, but guests with mobility needs should confirm specific features directly with the hotel.
The Old Town is the obvious pairing: cross the Vanšu Bridge or Akmens Bridge and you reach the cobbled lanes of Vecrīga, Riga Cathedral and the Three Brothers in about 15 to 25 minutes on foot or a few minutes by taxi. Closer to the hotel, the riverside embankment offers flat, open walking with skyline views, while the Art Nouveau district around Alberta iela, a short ride away, holds some of the finest Jugendstil facades in Europe. Riga Central Market, housed in vast former Zeppelin hangars, is an easy half-day add-on for local food.
