Viinistu Art Hotel

Lahemaa National Park


Built in an old fish-processing plant, this bright waterfront hotel boasts fresh nautical decor enlivened by hundreds of Estonian artworks. Family rooms are considerably bigger and contain kitchenettes, and the sea-facing rooms with balconies are only slightly more expensive. Just opposite is the associated Viinistu Art Museum.
