Lake & Library Hotel

Top choice in Lithuania


Overlooking the white-sand beach of Gavys Lake, this delightful boutique hotel is the area's loveliest. The hosts go out of their way to make guests feel welcome, the breakfast spread is terrific and all the rooms are individually styled, with a quirky mix of chandeliers, contemporary art and book-filled shelves. Owners can help arrange visits to the Ignalina nuclear power station.
