Lydia Hotel

About Lydia Hotel

There’s more to Estonia than a weekend in Tallinn; in the city of Tartu, where the Old Town meets Toomemägi Hill, is the extraordinary Lydia Hotel. In contrast with its stately surroundings, it’s a defiantly modern building, and its interiors are a lively blend of old and new, featuring 19th- and 20th-century elements filtered through a contemporary design sensibility. In its comforts it’s properly luxe, if rather more a boutique than a classic grand hotel; the restaurant, Hõlm, is an open-plan modern Estonian restaurant that derives its name — and much of its menu’s inspiration — from a century-old cookbook by Lydia Grünmann Holm.
