Dating back to 1892, the Kaunas is a slick operation with an eye for business clientele. Glass fronts the top floor where room 512 sports a peek-if-you-dare glass-walled bathroom overlooking tree-lined Laisvės alėja. There's also a pool, sauna and gym (free with deluxe rooms and suites, otherwise there's a €10 surcharge).
