Ekesparre Residence Hotel

Ekesparre Residence Hotel is located in the resort town of Kuressaare on the island of Saaremaa, which lies on the edge of the Gulf of Riga.

Safety and a friendly atmosphere are the key words that best characterise this island. From our hotel, it will take you only a few moments to get to the beach to be able to sunbathe, or to go for a walk along the shore. Also, the town centre of Kuressaare and the best restaurants are only a 5-minute walk away.

Crackling logs in the fireplace and the mysterious spirit of beloved writers are already awaiting you in our boutique hotel with its luxuriously furnished rooms and a cosy lounge. Among others, former presidents of the Republic of Estonia have stayed in this hotel.

The exciting and varied history of the building at No 27 Lossi Street lends it essential additional values, which have been appreciated by many important Estonian cultural and public figures at various times.

Initially, the building was built as a boarding house, but the twists and turns of its history have led to this house also being used for other purposes.
If only the walls could talk, we could be witnesses to events stretching from schoolboy pranks through the doings of the modestly bohemian group during the “Siuru castle” times and the bustlings of Ms Elisabeth Pohl when she kept her boarding house, to a vegetarian restaurant, and also to interrogations by the special division of the Baltic Coast Guard, or even the events which took place in the rooms which now hide the traces of a former police station.

Different owners have treated the house in many different ways, from good to not so good, but the positive aura of the preserved building can still be clearly perceived even today. The creative, romantic and even slightly tragic history of the building instils a spirit of fondness into the hearts of the new owners, whose aim it is to share with their guests the values they believe in themselves and which they have devotedly helped restore.

Today’s Ekesparre Residence represents everything we value the most: privacy, the right to be by yourself, and reliable quality in even the smallest element. This allows us to remain ourselves and to draw inspiration from our surroundings.

Our residence boasts a selection of rooms in Art Nouveau style, which are undeniably some of the most beautiful and personalised hotel rooms in Estonia. Every room offers a varied view over the medieval episcopal castle, trenches filled with seawater, the town's park, or the gardener's legacy - the romantic garden surrounding the residence.

Ekesparre Residence Hotel offers breakfast as flexibly as possible. Clients have the privilege of choosing the time and place for their breakfast, as well as their menu. Although the buffet breakfast is served in the lounge of the first floor, guest can order breakfast also to their room.

Breakfast at Ekesparre is served in the lounge between 07:00 and 10:00.

On the buffet table, you will find a selection of juices, breads, buns and pastries, plus cold fish and meat cuts, muesli and cereals, various dairy products, and whole fruits as well as a fruit salad. Besides this selection, we also serve the most common heated breakfast dishes.

Kuressaare is a historic town on Estonia's largest island, and the Residence is very close to all historic sights.

For enjoying the medieval episcopal castle, you do not even have to leave our front yard. That is to say, the Ekesparre Residence is situated on the north-east ravelin of Kuressaare Castle, which once formed part of the castle ramparts. This is exactly where the main road leads to the castle; and the foundation of the forge which was built for the maintenance of cannons is placed immediately beneath our hotel. Guests with a vivid imagination can still hear the clanks of the blacksmith’s heavy hammer on the anvil, the shouting of rushing soldiers, or the giggles of coquettish noble ladies.
