Radisson SAS Hotel, Tallinn

Radisson SAS Hotel Tallinn Info

The upper floor rooms of this hotel offer majestic views of the old town, with its cobblestone streets, jumbled medieval walls and needling spires.The aura of the 14th and 15th centuries survive intact because of the powerful defensive structures that have protected Tallinn from being destroyed in wars, while its lack of wooden buildings has protected it from fire.The hotel is close to the new Kaubamaja shopping centre, and just a 10 minute walk to the old city.Instantly recognisable by its onion shaped red domes, the Orthodox Alexandr Nevsky Cathedral is dedicated to the Prince of Novgorod who led the famous Ice Battle on the banks of Lake Peipsi in 1242 and halted the Germans' eastward advance. The church's belltowers consist of 11 bells, the largest weighing 15 tones and is well worth a visit.During summer the rooftop Vertigo Restaurant offers diners excellent views of the city as well as excellent pizzas.
