During my recent stay in Tallinn Estonia, I stayed at the Telegraaf Hotel and the Hotel Schlossle (see our write-ups on both, which we give a two thumbs up to and would definitely stay there again). In addition the facilities being top notch, the service was incredible at both properties.
Two additional hotels worth noting didn’t stay at but briefly explored while on the ground include the Radisson Blu (see the spa write-up) and the Swissotel Tallinn.
Raddisson Blu has a fitness centre with cardiovascular machines and a well-equipped gym. They also have a spa which is just across from the hotel, an upscale lifestyle and health club for guests to use. The rooms are modern, vibrant and colorful.

The Swissotel is a five-star luxury hotel in Tallinn and is also the tallest building in the city, boasting impressive views of the old town and the Baltic Sea. The old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with distinctive cobblestone streets, is only a 10-minute walk from the hotel.
There are 238 guest rooms and suites and they tout a scrumptious breakfast buffet, three restaurants, two bars, a heated indoor pool with sauna and steam room and a state-of-the-art fitness club.
