Despite current global situation Accor does not slow down with strengthening the portfolio of lifestyle brands in Europe. The group has announced the opening new hotel in Riga planned for Q4 of 2020. Located in the very heart of Latvian capital, new facility will provide great spot for the tourists coming to the city. The hotel is placed in a recently renovated building from the beginning of last century and has a long history closely linked to Latvian capital. It was the residence of first Latvian president, and later on Valdemar's Riga Hotel operated at this address. The building is distinguished by unique architecture of the facades, intricate decorative elements and artistic tiles in the common areas.
New hotel will offer its guests 83 modern and comfortable rooms, restaurant, bar, very popular in this region sauna, conference space and a car park. The investor of the hotel is the Luxembourg holding Financiere Le Rachinel Sarl, a long-term partner of Accor, which manages several hotels, for example in Switzerland, Portugal and Hungary.
After the renovation in 2022, the hotel will operate under TRIBE brand, which is coming also to other European cities in upcoming years, such as Paris, Amsterdam, Manchester or Warsaw. Accor plans to open over 50 TRIBE hotels worldwide in the near future. Over the next five years, the brand is planning to open a total of 150 hotels worldwide aimed at a new generation of travellers in search of refined yet affordable experiences. TRIBE is an alternative lifestyle brand that is shaking up the rules of hospitality to fulfil the wants and needs of the modern traveller, without compromising on sophistication, style or originality. TRIBE is designed to be a unique urban space. The brand focuses on common areas and guestrooms, creating multifunctional spaces that encourage interaction between guests while providing that home-from-home feeling.
For several years now, Riga has been one of the most-recommended places in Europe to visit. Situated a little far from main touristic destinations of the Old Continent, Latvian capital surprises its guest with captivating architecture combining historical elements with modern architecture and variety of cultural and business events. This vibrant city is an ideal location for the TRIBE brand, which is spreading its presence around the Europe. We strongly believe that the new hotel will be well appreciated by local communities and all tourists visiting Latvia - Katarzyna Sławińska, Development Executive Poland & Baltic Countries, Accor convinces.
