LE CHEVALIER RELAIS

Hotel Relais le Chevalier is like a piece of France in the very heart of the Old Town of Riga. The interior is the work of French and Italian designers and the name which literary means Knight s Inn brings us back to the mysterious medieval France. Our hotel is located in one of the most famous buildings of Old Riga at 20 Kalku Street. Here in the middle of the 17th century a German physician and biologist Benjamin Fischer founded a pharmacy which thanks to the patronage of Fischer s older brother who held a high position at court attained a Royal status. The image of a lion on the facade relief of the building is a symbol of special support from King Charles XI.
