In and Around the Old Town
$$$ Baltic Hotel Imperial is a fine four-star hotel set in a lovely park-like spot under the
Old Town wall. Its 32 rooms are modern and small, while the public spaces have a spa-
cious, professional ambience. Though it feels like a chain (and is), when it's discounted,
it's the best Old Town, top-end value I've found (Sb-€89-119, Db-€99-129, website shows
best rates, elevator, air-con, free Wi-Fi, sauna-€19/hour, kids' playroom, Nunne 14, tel.
627-4800, fax [phone], www.imperial.ee , [e-mail] ).
$$$MyCityHotel fills a handsome 1950s building on the south edge of the Old Town
with 68 rooms and spacious common areas. Along with the Sõprus cinema across the street,
it's in Stalinist Classical style—Soviet stars and sheaves of wheat still adorn the facade
(Sb-€79-120, Db-€80-144, extra bed-€25, children 12 and under free in parents' room, non-
smoking, elevator, air-con, free Internet access and Wi-Fi, sauna-€20-30/hour, Vana-Posti
11/13, tel. [phone], fax [phone], www.mycityhotel.ee , [e-mail] ).
