In the morning guests can indulge in a hearty breakfast, which includes homemade artisanal baked delicacies, local culinary specialties, and freshly brewed coffee.

Spa lovers can indulge in authentic treatments, featuring four seasons, which will leave them feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Spa facilities feature soothing treatment rooms, a relaxation space, an indoor pool, as well as Finnish and steam saunas.
Historical Presence
Having played an important role in the country’s history – from being a telegraph station to serving as the Treasury – Grand Hotel Vilnius remains one of the city's timeless icons - elegant, historic, and unapologetically unique.
Located directly across from Cathedral Square, the hotel offers magnificent views of the city's Old Town, with major tourist attractions such as the Grand Dukes Palace, the Presidential Palace, numerous cultural institutions, and shopping areas within walking distance.
