We started with the renovation of tallink city hotel

At the end of the summer, we announced that we would start renovating Tallink City Hotel. In September, the hotel family was busy counting, marking and collecting hotel furniture that could be needed by someone. You can read more about the donation here on the same page.

In September, we started a thorough and large-scale overhaul of the hotel in the city centre. Tallink City Hotel, located in the service building, had been awaiting renovation for some time. The economic and tourism situation unexpectedly created an opportunity to renovate the hotel.

In November, we started demolishing the walls and ceilings. During the works, the hotel rooms, along with all the public areas of the hotel, will be completely renovated. The hotel will undergo renovation work until the end of May 2021, and we plan to reopen the hotel in June of next year.

The furniture and furnishings of the renovated Tallink City Hotel were supplied to welfare institutions all over Estonia

The furniture and furnishing materials of Tallink City Hotel, which temporarily closed its doors this summer and started repairs in September, have reached several people in need across Estonia instead of warehouses and landfills.

At the beginning of the summer, when Tallink Group decided to close Tallink City Hotel until next summer and completely renovate it by the owners in agreement with the owners of the former service building, it was immediately clear that the furniture and furnishings that would no longer be used in the hotel could be recycled as much as possible.

In cooperation with the Ministry of Social Affairs, a number of institutions and organisations were found all over Estonia, to which the furniture and furnishings that were in good condition were donated; in some cases, this made it possible to provide essential services faster than planned during the current difficult period.

Of the hotel furniture and furnishings, beds, mattresses, chairs, tables, bedside tables, bedspreads, curtains were mainly reused, but the large wooden wall panels in the hotel reception desk and the huge wall mirrors in the hotel lobby also found a new home.

About hotel and history

We are beginning a complete renovation of Tallink City Hotel in the centre of Tallinn. All hotel rooms, the lobby, restaurant, conference centre and public areas will be renovated. The renovation will be completed in May 2021 and the hotel will reopen in June next year.

The current situation in the tourism and hotel industry in Estonia and around the world makes it possible to carry out these renovation works. With this in mind, we will be ready to reopen the hotel doors for next year’s summer season and offer a new concept in the Estonian hotel market with the best accommodation experience.
