Narutis

Top choice in Vilnius


In a townhouse built in 1581, rooms at this classy pad have satin drapes, huge comfy beds and, in some cases, original 19th-century frescoes. The opulence continues in the brick-lined spa (the pool and Jacuzzi are free in the mornings). Breakfast steals the show: served in a vaulted Gothic cellar, it's a banquet spread of bubbly, smoked fish and dainty desserts.
