Hotel Pacai

Set in the heart of Vilnius’ Old Town - home to a university, a presidential palace, and an abundance of museums, embassies, churches, bookshops, and the city’s coolest spots for dining and drinking - Hotel PACAI perfectly echoes this quarter’s 17th-century Baroque grandeur, yet augments it with a contemporary twist. Famous for being the most magnificent mansion in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the stately building has been reborn thanks to the inspired efforts of a passionate team of local architects and designers. The ornate baroque mansion lived through the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the rule of Russian czars, Napoleon's entrance to Vilnius, and the Soviet before it was reborn. Rich historic elements are masterfully blended with present-day design to showcase soft, deep tones and elegant materials that heighten the structure’s classical style and complement its relaxing spa.

The 104 rooms and suites, the inviting restaurant and bar, and the three meeting rooms all celebrate Lithuania’s rich past and Baltic culture, while also pointing it forward in a direction that is young and vibrant in spirit. Also intriguing is the hotel’s expansive courtyard, which evokes the atmosphere of the city’s surrounding historic buildings. Here, guests enjoy local art events, dinners that stretch long into the night, and more—making this transformative property a new cultural hub in Vilnius.
