There was a time when the telegraph building was a central spot in
capitals around the world. The architecture was impressive,
reflecting the importance of the new and sensational
telecommunication technology of those days. The telegraph building
was a natural meeting place where telephone calls and telegrams
were dispatched manually by special service staff. Tallinn's former
telegraph building, built in 1878, has now been carefully restored
and transformed into this unique and luxurious 86-room historic
city hotel. The most important features from the telegraph era have
been preserved and developed and the amenities of a 21st-century
luxury hotel added. In addition to a lobby area with 24-hour
reception and check-out services, a hotel safe, currency exchange
desk, cloakroom and lift access to the upper floors, facilities
available to guests at this air-conditioned establishment include a
bar, restaurant, conference facilities and wired and wireless
Internet access, as well as room and laundry services and cellar
for storing bicycles. Those arriving by car may leave their vehicle
in the hotel car park or garage.

The spacious and comfortable rooms are ideal for business or
leisure. Guests may relax or make detailed plans for their Tallinn
visit in their armchair or sofa or refine the details with the

dry cleaning and their shoes for a polish in the in-room Service
Cabinet. Alternatively, they can take a bath in the bathtub and
rest and sleep in generous and comfortable double or twin beds. In
addition to a private bathroom with a shower, bathtub and a
hairdryer, further in-room amenities include a direct dial
