Hotel Pacai is a five-star hotel on Didzioji Street in the heart of Vilnius Old Town, close to Town Hall Square and within walking distance of many of the city's main sights. The first member of Design Hotels to open in the Baltics, it occupies the former residence of the noble Lithuanian Pacai family, dating from 1677. Following an extensive restoration, original Baroque architecture, historic frescoes and period details sit alongside contemporary Lithuanian design and artwork.
Pacai Spa offers a range of massages, facials and body treatments in peaceful surroundings. Guests also have access to a sauna and fitness room.
Rooms and suites combine contemporary furnishings with features reflecting the historic character of the former palace. Categories range from Standard, Superior and Deluxe rooms to a selection of Junior, Signature, Heritage and Pacai Suites. Facilities include air conditioning, minibar, Nespresso coffee machine, bathrobes and slippers, while some rooms have balconies or views across the Old Town.
The hotel's restaurant focuses on seasonal ingredients and local produce, with contemporary dishes influenced by Lithuanian flavours. There is also a bar serving drinks and cocktails.
The history is what sets Pacai apart. Staying in a carefully restored 17th-century palace in the centre of Vilnius gives the hotel a real sense of place, while the contemporary interiors prevent it from feeling overly traditional.
