A hotel steeped in history, reinvented with flair

An architectural gem in the heart of Vilnius, the Grand Hotel Vilnius embodies over a century of history in a setting of refinement. Built in 1900, this former imperial post office has transformed into an iconic hotel, blending aristocratic heritage with contemporary elegance.

Behind its tall period windows, one discovers a decor rich in details: restored frescoes, hand-blown chandeliers, marble floors, carved woodwork, and custom furniture create a cozy atmosphere, inspired by the Belle Époque, yet resolutely current. Throughout the establishment, Lithuanian artworks — from contemporary collections — punctuate the spaces, echoing the living heritage of the city.

A true institution in Vilnius, the hotel houses 93 rooms and suites, spread over several levels, as well as vast common areas, a gourmet restaurant, a sophisticated lounge bar, and private salons conducive to confidential events.

A place of memory as much as a place of life, the Grand Hotel Vilnius celebrates a timeless art of living, between tradition, culture, and exceptional hospitality.

Sigita Rudzevičienė: the embodiment of elegance

At the helm of the Grand Hotel Vilnius, Sigita Rudzevičienė finely embodies the spirit of great European hoteliers: a figure both discreet and deeply committed, whose presence imbues the places with a natural elegance. With a prestigious background in luxury hospitality, this charismatic General Manager has managed to impose her vision with precision: preserving the soul of the building while anchoring the hotel in modernity, through impeccable service and constant attention to detail.

Under her leadership, the Grand Hotel Vilnius has strengthened its positioning as an essential reference in high-end hospitality in Northern Europe, combining historical refinement, culinary excellence, and gentle innovation. Sigita Rudzevičienė personally oversees every aspect of the guest experience, from the welcome to the most subtle finishes, with that sense of sincere hospitality that makes the difference between a good stay and a memorable one.

“We do not just offer a room: we offer an experience, a memory, a connection with Vilnius.”
— Sigita Rudzevičienė, General Manager

Under her impetus, every detail of the hotel becomes a vector of emotion: a gesture from the staff, a wall artwork, a seasonal dish, or an afternoon light on Cathedral Square. For her, hospitality is a subtle art, a balance between memory and movement, where the beauty of the place must serve a deeply human experience.

Rooms with a view and exceptional suites

The Deluxe rooms and suites of the Grand Hotel Vilnius embody the subtle alliance between the refinement of a historical heritage and the elegance of contemporary comfort. Spacious and bathed in natural light, they feature large bay windows overlooking the rooftops of the old town, the inner gardens, or the elegant streets of the historic center. Some rooms even have balconies, to fully enjoy the view in complete privacy.

Each space has been designed with attention to detail: custom furniture with modernized classic lines, precious fabrics, warm woodwork, and blown glass lighting interact with the walls in soothing neutral tones. The upholstered headboards, velvet curtains, and plush carpets add a touch of cozy comfort, while the marble bathrooms, equipped with walk-in showers or deep bathtubs, invite relaxation.

The suites, for their part, stand out for their generous volumes and residential atmosphere. Some have a separate seating area, a desk space, or even a private dining room, ideal for long stays or travelers seeking a more exclusive experience. The most discerning guests can opt for the Presidential Suite, a true prestige apartment with panoramic views, original artworks, and personalized butler service upon request.

Telegrafas: a modern table, praised by the MICHELIN Guide

Located in the former post office of the city, now majestically transformed into the Grand Hotel Vilnius, the Telegrafas restaurant enchants as much with its panoramic location on Cathedral Square as with its bright and contemporary atmosphere. In this refined setting, where natural light embraces the historical volumes, each meal becomes a suspended moment, an invitation to rediscover Lithuanian cuisine through a creative and elegant prism.

Justinas Kapkovičius: a Lithuanian culinary signature

At the head of the Telegrafas kitchens, chef Justinas Kapkovičius infuses a contemporary vision into Lithuanian gastronomy. President of the Lithuanian Association of Executive Chefs and Pastry Chefs, he is also a recipient of international awards such as the Culinary World Cup and the Baltic Culinary Star. An advocate of a sustainable and local approach, he regularly leads educational sessions on responsible cooking. Under his leadership, Telegrafas has established itself as a gastronomic reference in Vilnius, where tradition and creativity converse in every plate.

Recommended by the MICHELIN Guide, Telegrafas celebrates a modern and sincere cuisine, where the accuracy of pairings takes precedence over effects. Among the most inspired suggestions are salmon tartare with bread and beer chips, buttermilk panna cotta with compressed cucumber and dill emulsion, duck foie gras and eel with winter apples and cider jelly, scallops with pea puree and white truffle, marbled sea bass fillet in a pine crust with orange fettuccine, or Black Angus beef with caramelized onions, celery in brown butter, and black truffle. The journey continues with poetic vegetarian plates, such as homemade gnocchi with black truffles or Jerusalem artichoke with Eringi mushrooms, before concluding with original sweets like “Pumpkin Shades,” “The Dark Side of Beet,” or the very graphic “Harvest Festival” made with buckwheat mousse, sea buckthorn, and buckwheat popcorn.

Dukes Lounge & Bar: the art of cocktails in luxury version

A few steps from Telegrafas, in a cozy and elegant space, Dukes Lounge & Bar embodies the spirit of the contemporary club in Lithuanian style. Large armchairs, dim lighting, warm materials, and soft music create a decor conducive to relaxation, intimacy, or gourmet escape at any time of the day.

The menu highlights revisited classics, with a farmhouse chicken club sandwich, burrata with heirloom tomatoes and Sicilian olive oil, Black Angus beef tartare with homemade pickles, or a generous Wagyu burger, accompanied by aged cheddar and truffle fries. On the bar side, under the guidance of talented Aurimas Kazulėnas, the journey becomes liquid: between Negroni, Martinez, forgotten cocktails, or signature creations, each glass tells a story, accompanied by precise and warm service.

Wine lovers are not left out: the selection covers the great French, Italian, or Spanish classics, but also confidential cuvées and characterful vintages.
