Best Riga Hotels with Spa for Families
10 family-friendly hotels with spa & wellness in Riga . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Riga's old town is gorgeous for two days, then you start needing breaks. The cobblestones, the museums, the early-closing cafés — kids burn out fast and parents need a lounger and a steam room. The five hotels below all have proper spa centres rather than just a sauna at the end of a corridor: full treatment menus, hammam rooms, family-friendly bookable slots, and bath robes that fit a six-year-old. Three are inside the old town walls, two sit five minutes by foot in either direction. All take kids.
Riga is the largest Baltic capital, with a UNESCO old town that's tighter and grittier than Tallinn's, and an Art Nouveau quarter that's the densest in Europe. The Daugava cuts through, the central market sits in five repurposed Zeppelin hangars, and Jurmala beach is 30 minutes by train. For families with kids over five, three nights covers the old town, the market, the puppet theatre and a hammam afternoon — with energy left over for a Daugava ferry.

🧖Why a Spa Hotel Helps in Riga
Latvia's sauna culture runs deep — Riga families go weekly, and the spa hotels reflect that. Wet saunas, dry saunas, hammams, salt rooms, herbal steam: this isn't a hotel afterthought, it's the local bathing tradition packaged for travellers. For families, the upside is huge: a hotel with a real spa means you can swap out the post-museum meltdown for an hour in the warm room, then the kids' pool, then a chocolate at the spa café. Three of our five let under-12s into the spa at off-peak hours.
Latvian spas split into two types. The full hotel spa with multiple sauna rooms (Grand Hotel Kempinski, Wellton Riverside, Wellton Riga) gives you 1,500 to 2,500 square metres of wet area, plus a kid-permitted lap pool. The boutique spa (Grand Poet, Radisson Blu Latvija) is smaller but treatment-focused: massage rooms, salt cave, vitality pool. Pick the first if you want to actually swim with the kids; pick the second if your eldest is a teenager who wants a 60-minute massage while the youngest reads in the room.
For families, the practical filter is opening hours. Latvian spas typically run 7am to 22:00 with a kids' window from 15:00 to 18:00 — outside that, expect quiet adult-only sessions. Three of our five publish a clear family-friendly slot; two require under-12s to be supervised by an adult at all times, which is fine if you're going as a family but worth checking before you book a couples massage. Hotel reception will usually book a babysitter for an evening if you ask the morning before.
Parent's take
Honestly, with kids in Riga the spa is the calm-down switch. The old town is gorgeous but tiring after lunch, and the museums drain energy fast. A hotel that hands you 90 minutes of warm water at 4pm is the difference between a cranky dinner and a relaxed one.
Our Top 10 Picks
Hotels in Riga with spa & wellness, sorted by guest rating.
Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga
Old Town
Wonderful
500 reviews
Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga is a 5-star palace hotel on the edge of the old town with a full ESPA spa, kids' club with babysitting, and family suites overlooking the Vermanes Garden. Treatments include a 25-minute kids' facial.
From
€1376/night
Why families love Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga
The hotel that does luxury family travel properly. The kids' club takes children 4-12 daily until 7pm, which means we actually had a 90-minute massage uninterrupted. The spa has a kids' window 16:00-18:00 with a heated splash pool, and the family suite was big enough that the eight-year-old had her own reading nook. Vermanes Garden is across the road for after-spa runaround time.
Wonderful
500 reviews
Grand Poet Hotel and SPA by Semarah is a 5-star Art Nouveau hotel in the old town with an indoor pool, full spa centre, treatment rooms and family rooms. Ten minutes on foot from Dome Square.
From
€673/night
Why families love Grand Poet Hotel and SPA by Semarah
The indoor pool is the standout — heated, shallow at one end, and the kids could swim while we sat at the spa cafe with a book. The Art Nouveau building has wide hallways and high ceilings that felt like a museum, which the nine-year-old loved. Spa is treatment-heavy rather than sauna-heavy, so book a family massage if you have older kids. Quiet at breakfast, kids' meals available.
A22 Hotel
Ausekļa iela 22, Rīga, LV-1010, Latvia
Wonderful
500 reviews
A22 is a 33-room boutique five-star at Krišjāņa Barona iela 22, a 12-minute walk from the old town through the Art Nouveau district. Free guest bikes (eight in total, helmets and locks included) and printed routes from reception covering the riverside, Mežaparks and the Quiet Centre.
From
€681/night
Why families love A22 Hotel
I recommend A22 to families who want to explore Riga by bike from a quiet boutique base. This 33-room five-star on Krišjāņa Barona iela lends its eight guest bikes free of charge, with helmets and locks, and reception hands out printed routes for the riverside, Mežaparks and the Quiet Centre. The old town is a 12-minute walk through the Art Nouveau district. Ask for a top-floor room on the garden side, the quietest.
Hotel Bergs Suites
Elizabetes iela 83/85, Rīga, LV-1050, Latvia
Wonderful
500 reviews
Bergs Suites is a 37-suite all-suite four-star in the Bergs Bazaar quarter, three minutes from the central market and seven from the old town. Suites are 40 to 90 square metres with a separate sitting area, and the ground-floor concierge has six guest bikes (24-hour notice for kid bikes from a partner shop next door).
From
€500/night
Why families love Hotel Bergs Suites
I recommend Bergs Suites to families who want space and easy cycling in Riga. This 37-suite four-star in the Bergs Bazaar quarter offers suites of 40 to 90 square metres with a separate sitting area. The concierge keeps six guest bikes, and kids' bikes come from a partner shop next door with 24 hours' notice. The riverside path is minutes away by bike, the central market three minutes on foot and the old town seven.
Grand Palace Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World
Pils iela 12, Rīga, LV-1050, Latvia
Wonderful
500 reviews
Grand Palace is a 56-room five-star inside the old town walls, on Pils iela, three minutes from Riga Castle. Bike rental is paid, with a helmet included, and the hotel is the only old-town five-star with its own bike fleet rather than a partner shop.
From
€600/night
Why families love Grand Palace Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World
I recommend Grand Palace to families who want a refined old-town base and still like to ride. The 56-room five-star sits inside the old town walls, three minutes from Riga Castle, and has its own bike fleet, helmets included, so you can set off straight from the lobby; the doorman suggests routes such as Vērmanes Garden. Family rooms are small but immaculate. The breakfast room gets busy around 8:30, so book an earlier or later slot.
Avalon Hotel & Conferences
Central Riga
Wonderful
8,329 reviews
Avalon Hotel & Conferences offers a 4-star pool and spa setup at a more accessible price point than the 5-stars. Located in central Riga with the Old Town a 7-minute walk. 9.0 across 8,329 reviews. Family rooms are basic but spacious, and the pool includes a kids' shallow section.
From
$218/night
Why families love Avalon Hotel & Conferences
Avalon punched above its weight on value. The pool isn't fancy but it has a separate kids' splash area which the 5-stars didn't, and the staff was the warmest we encountered. Family room had two real twin beds (not a fold-out), which mattered for our taller 9-year-old. Skip the on-site restaurant and walk the 7 minutes to the Old Town for dinner instead.
Bellevue Park Hotel Riga with FREE Parking
Pardaugava (left bank)
Excellent
3,200 reviews
A four-star Superior business and family hotel on the left bank with board games at reception, an indoor pool, full spa and large family rooms - the only proper full-service hotel on this list. Free parking, kids' meals and an airport shuttle make it a low-friction choice for first-time Riga families.
From
€165/night
Why families love Bellevue Park Hotel Riga with FREE Parking
I would choose Bellevue Park Hotel for a Riga stay with a car or a dog: parking is free, pets are allowed and an airport shuttle is available. It sits in Pardaugava on the left bank of the Daugava, with a park across the road for letting children run. Inside, there is an indoor pool, a spa, board games at reception and kids' meals at the restaurant. Family rooms and an 8.9 rating from 3,200 reviews round off a practical choice.
Wellton Riverside SPA Hotel
Riverside
Excellent
500 reviews
Wellton Riverside SPA Hotel is a 4-star riverside hotel with a 1,500 sqm spa centre, family rooms, and a dedicated kids' vitality pool. Five minutes on foot from the old town across the river.
From
€265/night
Why families love Wellton Riverside SPA Hotel
Best spa-for-the-price in Riga. The wet area is huge: lap pool, vitality pool, hot tub, two saunas, hammam, salt cave. The kids' pool is fenced and the under-7s window is 15:00-17:00 daily. Family room had a separate sleeping nook for the kids and a balcony over the Daugava. We did spa every afternoon and barely scratched the menu.
Excellent
500 reviews
Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel, Riga is a 4-star hotel by the central park with a 25th-floor spa, family rooms, and city-view rooms. Five minutes on foot to the old town and the train station for Jurmala day trips.
From
€588/night
Why families love Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel, Riga
The 25th-floor spa is the gimmick that's actually amazing. You sauna with a panoramic view of the spires, then come back down to a family room where the kids have already plundered the kid-friendly buffet. We loved the location for Jurmala day trips: train station is 4 minutes away, beach 30 minutes after that. Skytower restaurant has a low-key kids' menu and the elevator alone entertains four-year-olds.
Wellton Riga Hotel & SPA
Centre
Excellent
500 reviews
Wellton Riga Hotel & SPA is a 4-star hotel two blocks from the old town, with a full spa centre, indoor playground, kid-friendly buffet, and family rooms. Walking distance to most museums and the central market.
From
€425/night
Why families love Wellton Riga Hotel & SPA
The standout for families with kids 4 to 8 — there's an indoor playground in the lobby that runs to 8pm, the buffet has a separate kids' line at lower height, and the spa runs a daily 14:00-16:00 family window with games in the relaxation area. The room was a connecting double-and-twin with bunk-bed lighting that meant the eight-year-old read until late without disturbing us.
💡Family Booking Tips for Riga
- 1Latvian spa etiquette: bring sandals and a swimsuit, you'll get a robe at reception. Tipping is not customary for treatments. Booking a kids' slot in advance is recommended — same-day spots fill by mid-afternoon.
- 2Riga is cold from October to March. The spa is your reset button when kids' faces get too red on the way back from the old town. Most hotels here open the spa at 7am, so an early-morning swim before sightseeing is a real option.
- 3Family rooms in Riga sleep four comfortably and run 150 to 350 euros per night including the spa. The cheaper hotels charge 10 to 20 euros extra for spa access; the 5-star options bundle it.
- 4Take the train to Jurmala for a half-day. Trains leave every 30 minutes from Riga Central, take 30 minutes, and the beach is wide, sandy and pine-shaded. Pack a swimsuit even in summer — the Baltic is bracing.
- 5The central market is overwhelming with kids under 5. Aim for the bread and pastry hall on the right when entering — quick win, away from the smoked fish section. Food court has a kids' menu in summer.
