NATIONAL HOTEL ^{* * * *}

It couldn't be more central: Theatre Square is at the end of the street, so you're just a stone's throw from everything there is to see in Klaipėda. The building dates back to 1855, so it's a true survivor of the city's recent history. This 4-star hotel plays on its vintage feel, with floor-to-ceiling carpets, waxed furniture and large wardrobes. A rare feature: many rooms still have their bathtubs. The Royal Suite is charming, and the terrace alone is worth the investment. As for breakfast, it's very well stocked.
