Nestled in the vibrant city center of Tartu, Antonius Hotel offers a unique blend of history, luxury, and exceptional service. Situated directly opposite the main building of Tartu University, the hotel is housed in a building with a rich past, first mentioned in 16th-century historical records. The structure as it stands today was completed in 1811 and has witnessed numerous transformations over the centuries. From housing a hat shop to being the home of the Livonian Noblemen’s Manor House Credit Association, and even serving as a police office, the building’s diverse history is integral to its charm. The hotel is named after the famous Guild of Saint Antonius, which once operated from this very building, nearly a century ago.
A Careful Restoration Preserving Heritage
With the building being under heritage protection, great care was taken during the restoration work to maintain the integrity of its historical features. Guests can now enjoy a stay in a place that marries history with modern comforts. In 2016, the hotel expanded with a new wing, adding nine rooms designed with an early 20th-century aesthetic that complements the building’s timeless appeal.
