Eiropa Hotel 4*

The main advantage of Europe – a 4-star hotel, consisting of two buildings unequal in capacity and comfort – is the location on one of the central streets running parallel to the coast.

Pegasa Pils 4*

Thanks to the low tower and the gabled roof, the two buildings of Pegasus Pils – the 4-star hotel of Jurmala on the seashore – become similar to a medieval castle. The proximity of a dense pine forest on one side and a sandy beach on the other, as well as the proximity of Dzintari – a famous concert back – add to those who want to stay in one of the 38 comfortably furnished hotel rooms. Although daily accommodation here can not be called cheap – from 121-131 € to 349-448 €, not only vacationers in the hotel,but also citizens know about its modern spa complex, European restaurant and pizzeria.
