Hotel Telegraaf - Tallinn, Estonia 

Hotel Telegraaf details:  This new, luxurious hotel, in the heart of the city, is housed in a characterful old building, once an exchange of the Estonian Telegraph Company.

Recently transformed into a hotel, the building offers you both history and modernity. Inside the historical facade every room offers you tasteful, contemporary, spacious accommodation and a wealth of modern comforts, including a flat screen TV.

The hotel is in an ideal location for those seeking to explore the small, winding, cobbled alleyways that make up Tallinn's stunning Old Town; the famous St Catherine's passage is right on the hotel's doorstep. After a hectic day of sightseeing you can relax in the exclusive Elemis spa centre.

The hotel building was constructed at the end of 19th century. Peter Schreiberg, from St. Petersburg, designed the original 4 storey house, the top two floors being added later.

After the Republic of Estonia was established in 1918, the building was used as a telegraph station. It retained this function in the Soviet period, housing the 'Tallinn Central Telegraph'. During restoration in 2005-2006, the wing of the building that was destroyed during World War Two was rebuilt.

The hotel has a meeting room, complete with fireplace, which can host events for up to 50 people.

A wealth of beauty treatments, including facials and hand therapy, are available at the hotel (charges apply).

The hotel's indoor pool (3 x 10m) and jacuzzi are open 7 days a week (07:00 until 22:00). The sauna and steam bath are also open Monday to Sunday (07:00 - 10:00 and 17:00 - 22:00).
