Radisson Collection Astorija: A timeless retreat in the heart of Vilnius

Set against the backdrop of Vilnius’ UNESCO listed Old Town, Radisson Collection Astorija is more than just a luxury hotel – it is a gateway to the city’s rich history and vibrant culture.

The hotel building was originally built in 1901, and Radisson Collection Astorija has long been a cornerstone of Vilnius’ hospitality scene. Over the years, it has welcomed royalty, world leaders, and other high-profile figures. With Lithuania named the second-best country to visit in 2025 by Lonely Planet, Vilnius is the perfect place to start exploring the country.

The hotel’s prime location places guests within walking distance of historic streets, shops, independent cafés, and renowned restaurants. Just one kilometre from the train station and a short drive from Vilnius International Airport, it offers both convenience and immersion in the city’s unique atmosphere.

A glimpse into the past

Each of the 119 rooms and suites at Radisson Collection Astorija blends contemporary comfort with history. Some rooms boast original frescoes, while others feature replicas of the tapestries displayed in the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. Many of the rooms have stunning views of Vilnius’ Old Town, making for a picturesque wake-up call each morning.

The recent renovation of its conference centre makes the hotel a top choice for both business and leisure travellers seeking high-end amenities in an elegant setting.

One of the hotel’s most remarkable features is its 16th century wine cellar, a hidden gem rediscovered in 2019. This historic space adds another dimension to the hotel’s character, offering an atmospheric setting for intimate gatherings, wine tastings, or simply an escape into Vilnius’ past.
