Baltic Visitor

The new Nordic Hotel Forum opens on Viru Square this Sunday, offering yet another accommodation option in the Estonian capital. It has 267 rooms including 8 suites, and apparently cost over 22 million Euro to outfit.

The hotel’s website raises more questions than it answers, including ‘what on earth is the “mysterious tree of dreams” which is touted as central to the New Year’s party?’ But it does give details of spa packages which look tempting – the treatments are not in the hotel itself, but in a beauty salon nearby. The hotel’s ‘relax centre’ does however have a jacuzzi and steam room.

The website doesn’t offer a rack rate for a room, but I had a look at the booking system which is all very flash (and, indeed, uses Flash). It makes it very easy to order an airport transfer, late check-out or even a dozen red roses; the dates I checked in January had doubles for 82 Euro.

As usual, I’d love to hear from anyone who actually stays there and has an opinion on the place or on the mysterious tree of dreams.
