The hotel building was constructed at the end of 19th century. Peter Schreiberg, from St. Petersburg, designed the original 4 storey house, the top two floors being added later. After the Republic of Estonia was established in 1918, the building was used as a telegraph station. It retained this function in the Soviet period, housing the 'Tallinn Central Telegraph'. During restoration in 2005-2006, the wing of the building that was destroyed during World War Two was rebuilt. The hotel has a meeting room, complete with fireplace, which can host events for up to 50 people. A wealth of beauty treatments, including facials and hand therapy, are available at the hotel (charges apply). The hotel's indoor pool (3 x 10m) and jacuzzi are open 7 days a week (07:00 until 22:00). The sauna and steam bath are also open Monday to Sunday (07:00 - 10:00 and 17:00 - 22:00).

All hotel rooms are equipped with modern facilities.

During your time at the hotel you can spoil yourself with an à la carte dinner in the restaurant (12:00-22:30), or lock yourself away in your sizeable room and enjoy something from the hotel's room service menu, available 24-hours a day. The hotel's Lobby-Bar, open until late, is an ideal venue for a pre-dinner cocktail or a nightcap. The bar also offers a wide selection of wines from the New and Old World.
