The Merchant's House

I can’t even tell you how happy I was to check into the Merchant’s House Hotel in Tallinn, Estonia. At this point, the weather was freezing, I was starting to feel really sick and I didn’t have any weather appropriate clothes. So when I reached the front desk and they gave me a warm welcome and showed me to my cozy room in this beautiful property, I felt like things were looking up!

The hotel is nestled right in the heart of Tallinn’s old town, which so beautiful and medieval looking, you really can’t imagine! I’ll post more on the actual city in a few weeks but for now I think you can get an idea just from the vibe of the Merchant’s House.

My suite was huge! But it felt warm and welcoming, the exposed brick walls were the perfect touch to keep the room in fitting with the history of the city. Parts of the building date back to the 14th century and parts date back to the 16th century.

The rich past of the hotel shines through even while you’re staying in modern comfort.

My favorite part of the room was the painting! It made me smile every time I looked at it. There were other similar paintings scattered throughout the hotel and I always stopped to look at them.

The hotel had a BEAUTIFUL outdoor patio. Unfortunately, as it was quite drizzly and chilly while I was there, I didn’t get to take full advantage of it. But the weather just made staying inside my room that much cozier so I didn’t mind.

There were so many nooks and crannies to lounge in — on a sunny day I would’ve been out there drinking a glass of wine and reading on my Kindle for sure

The hotel is located right next to a typical Estonian food restaurant. I went and tried pig’s ears! Not my favorite food in the world, but the restaurant was quite cute so I’d still highly recommend it!

This bed is where I spent most of my trip to Tallinn — all cuddled up in there under the covers. I can think of worse places be holed up

One of my other favorite features of the hotel was their breakfast area, situated downstairs in an old wine cellar. It was beautiful and very romantic!

To anyone staying a few nights in Tallinn, I cannot recommend this hotel enough! You’ll love The Merchant’s House and all the history and tradition it has to offer!
