Vilnius: Grand Hotel Kempinski (September 2019)


The Grand Hotel Kempinski Vilnius offers 96 rooms and suites in various categories. The property offers a spacious lobby, fitness center and spa, event space, and several food/beverage options, including the Telegrafas restaurant (where we ate breakfast), the adjacent elegant Bar Le Salon, Atelier Wine Bar, Le Cafe (a mostly take-away lobby shop that offers coffee and delicious-looking pastries), and a sidewalk Summer Terrace (no longer operational when we visited). We loved the location of the Grand Hotel Kempinski Vilnius in Old Town and just across the street from Cathedral Square. The hotel was located just steps from many shops and restaurants, and an ATM cash machine was located right around the corner. 

At the Grand Hotel Kempinski Vilnius, we reserved a Junior Suite. Our fifth (top) floor suite offered a spacious living room, with sofa, two lounge chairs, coffee table, side table, television, desk/chair, and built-in refreshment/closet unit that held a minibar and coffee service. The separate bedroom was smaller, with room for a king-size bed and two nightstands, lounge chair, and a second television. Due to the antique sloped attic ceiling at the edges of our room, we had to take care when opening the dormer windows (two in the living room and one in the bedroom), which we did often because they offered a stunning view of the Vilnius Cathedral. (Note that we could not see the Cathedral unless we stood in one of the dormers.) The modern bathroom (accessed through the bedroom) offered a combination bathtub/shower (although the room description online said that these would be separate, they were not in our suite), sink, and toilet. Quality toiletries were provided. A welcome gift of a fruit plate and some cute meringue lollipops was waiting when we arrived in our room.
