Villa Ammende

Top choice in Western Estonia & the Islands


Built in 1905, the Villa Ammende is an art nouveau masterpiece, and now one of Pärnu's best hotels. Original stylistic touches such as colourful tiles and wrought iron remain on its exterior, while the interior delights with stencilled paintings and carved wood features. Operating as a private home and casino at different times, it was restored in the 1990s as a hotel.

Rooms and suites, spread across the main house and the Gardener's House are as luxurious as they are rich with period detail; there's a fine-dining restaurant where a ten-course degustation with matched wines will lighten your wallet by €500(!); and recitals and other events are regularly scheduled.
