The Savoy Boutique Hotel is located on the coast of the Baltic Sea, in the heart of the medieval Hansa town of Tallinn. It takes a day-long ferry trip to get here from Stockholm or from St. Petersburg. A ferry from Helsinki, however, only needs a couple of hours to deliver you to Tallinn. If you come by car from Riga, you also need a couple of hours, whereas the journey from Vilnius or Moscow will take just a day.
The dignified appearance of the old town of Tallinn originates from the 15th century – the narrow, winding streets, the high city walls and the gothic architecture. In the 13th century, the Karjavärav and Karjaveski (the Herd Gate and the Herd Mill) – objects of the utmost importance to the city’s inhabitants – used to be located on the grounds of the hotel. At the beginning of the 20th century, the plot was covered with residential houses and bank buildings that were later enlarged and two of the buildings were joined. In 2006, the house was renovated in the luxurious style of art déco common to the era.
A gate to the heart of the city
The Savoy Boutique Hotel is located at the border of the city centre and the old town of Tallinn. The location is quite strategic, being on one of the most heavily used streets that leads to the old town. No matter whether it is day or night – the street is always busy with cafes, restaurants, pubs, wine cellars, theatres, cinemas, nightclubs, galleries, boutiques, different service facilities and shopping centres – all right here in the neighbourhood.
In order to enter the old town, with its UNESCO World Heritage listing, you only need to turn the corner. The centre of the old town – Town Hall Square – is only 300 metres from the hotel. Historic scenes, museums and churches are within a short walking distance.
The business and shopping centre of Tallinn is within a five-minute walk of the hotel. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the Reisisadam passenger port or to the railway station, and the airport is a 20-minute taxi ride away. Regardless of the proximity of the old town, the hotel is very easily accessible by car, as Pärnu Road – the beginning of Via Baltica connecting the Baltic Countries – is about twenty metres from the hotel.
