WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY

The story of Hotel Telegraaf is the continuation of the story of Tallinn. The magnificent building was built in the Tallinn’s Old Town at Vene Street 9 in 1878. Designed by the architect Peter Schreiberg from St. Petersburg, the Telegraaf building was first established as a bank. It was originally a four story building, the two topmost floors added later. Hotel Telegraaf as we know it today, opened its doors officially on 16th of April 2007. We have kept the historical charm carefully blended with modern design.

All of our rooms are designed in Modern Art style with Art Deco touches and offer refined and elegant decór. Most of the Hotel Telegraaf rooms feature Medieval Tallinn Old Town views. Our Suites are located in the historical part of building and proudly have the names of famous inventors (Bell, Siemens, Morse and Popov), who have made an unforgettable contribution to promoting communication. There are little touches of past inventions in all of the guest rooms – pictures of post marks from the past and elements with Morse Code. The antique phones are fully functional and offer a unique experience into the days of old.

The building’s original elements, such as the building’s facade, the famous stairway, and true to the era high ceilings have been fully preserved. The modern part of the building, where the Executive category rooms and the Telegraaf Spa are located, is new. The extension was possible only because until 1940 there was a building in the same place, burned down during World War II and rebuilt to become the new wing of our hotel.
