Setting and arrival
I arrived late in the evening by taxi from the airport, straight from Cagliari. Check-in was quick, and the front desk shared tips for a night out in town. The hotel is in the centre, on Liberty Avenue (Laisvės alėja).
The rooms
Deluxe and Standard Rooms, Suites and Executive Suites look out over Liberty Avenue through floor-to-ceiling windows. Rooms are bright and spacious, in classic or Scandinavian style, with satellite TV, minibar and Wi-Fi. My bathroom had a bath with shower, a large double vanity and a heated floor, ideal for Lithuanian winters.
Dining and fitness
The gourmet restaurant serves local cuisine and drinks, and the fitness facilities are first-rate.
The verdict
Modern, comfortable rooms, friendly staff and a central position make the Kaunas Hotel the city’s top address.
