A U N I Q U E A T M O S P H E R E

greeted me as I stepped across

the threshold of this very special

hotel. At the heart of Tallinn’s

beautiful old town, its massive

wooden beams, green and plum-

coloured decor made me think

of my great-uncle Alexander,

whose extensive travels were often

planned around this historic

port-of-call. Steeped in a rustic,

baronial atmosphere, the hotel’s inner

glow and warmth beckoned me

irresistibly in…

the Great Hall and reading-room

invited me to sink into

the plush arm-chairs in the glow

of candles and a crackling log fire.

As if in a tavern,

with a drink at arm’s length,

this is the place to retire

from the world, to settle down

thankfully with books,

newspapers and travel journal,

and reflect on a rich

cultural heritage and

natural good taste.

are even more faithfully recalled

in the beautifully restored vaulted

cellars, which I soon discovered

to be the main dining-room

in this 13th-century building.

Copious breakfasts and

imaginative meals are served

with grace and flair, accompanied

by soft candlelight, gleaming

tableware and a rich selection

of fine wines and Champagne.

In summer, the courtyard garden

provides an equally

enchanting alternative.

in the cobbled streets of Tallinn,

my room was a haven of warmth,

peacefulness and faultless taste.

Amidst its luxurious furnishings,

enticing bed linen and subdued

lighting, I imagined great-uncle

Alexander returning from a tour

of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral,

the Town-Hall Square and

Palace of the Czars, staring

in bemused fashion at the direct-

dial telephone, color television,

modem and fax connections…

sheltered by its towers

and sturdy walls, I was again

reminded that the past

can play a very gracious

host to the present.

Within thick stone walls

enhanced by paintings and

antiques, the hotel’s facilities

include a boardroom with

state-of-the-art equipment,

as well as cocktail and

banqueting possibilities.

A return to the source,

for businessmen and

travellers of discerning taste.
