Sokos Hotel Viru

Towering like an enormous radiator in Tallinn's center, this upmarket behemoth has been one of the city's most successful hotels, and it's easy to understand why with its bevy of amenities and coveted location. Three separate classes of rooms are available to suit your particular needs and budget, to say nothing of the very popular nightclub, several bars, sauna, beauty centre, two reputable restaurants and conference centre on hand. For the rampant consumer, Sokos Viru has direct access to the new and vast Viru shopping mall with its dizzying array of sexed-up mannequins, and vampires will be able to exist comfortably in this miniature city without ever being in natural light of any kind. The staff at Sokos Hotel Viru is young and pleasant, the rooms modern, comfortable and tasteful (as in ordinary) and the views over the city from the upper floors are quite marvellous. An ideal hotel if you are in town for business.
