Four Historic Hotels in Vilnius Old Town: A Comparison

By VisitVilnius.lt editorial team4 min read

Compare PACAI, Shakespeare, Stikliai and Narutis by location, building character and room choice, with official sources and booking checks.

This guide compares four Old Town hotels: PACAI, Shakespeare, Stikliai and Narutis. The selection focuses on building character, room styles and walking location, rather than a ranking or a complete hotel directory. Choose by your itinerary and the specific room you can book, not by a promise that every historic room offers the same experience.

Boutique is used here as a description of character, not a guarantee of size or service. PACAI, for example, lists 104 rooms and suites. Historic details, courtyard views and layouts depend on category; check the room photographs, lift access, any remaining stairs and noise exposure if these matter to your trip.

What This Comparison Covers

The Old Town can suit a walking-focused visit, but cobbles and uneven routes may make luggage or mobility needs important. Locate the entrance on a map and plan your airport or station transfer separately. A central address does not remove the need to plan transport.

This comparison uses operator information checked on 5 October 2026. It is not a report of a personal stay and does not provide guest-rating scores or fixed nightly prices. Compare the same dates, occupancy, breakfast, cancellation policy and total taxes; confirm availability directly before a non-refundable reservation.

Hotel PACAI: Historic Palace and Contemporary Design

Hotel PACAI occupies a historic palace at Didžioji g. 7. The official hotel description lists 104 rooms and suites and explains the combination of restored architecture and contemporary design. It is a useful candidate if the palace setting and access to Town Hall Square are priorities.

Compare the exact category for historic features or courtyard views. The current PACAI spa menu lists sauna, dry-air hammam and fitness facilities, with reservation conditions. This guide does not promise a swimming pool. Check dining, treatment bookings and what your room rate actually includes; a spa listing is not a medical benefit or an included treatment.

Address: Didžioji g. 7, close to Town Hall Square. Confirm the vehicle drop-off point and any parking arrangements with the hotel; pedestrian proximity is not a guarantee of step-free access.

Shakespeare Boutique Hotel: Literary-Themed Rooms

Shakespeare Boutique Hotel has literary-themed rooms. Its official website describes individually designed rooms inspired by writers and their work. Compare the actual category and photographs if the literary theme is your main reason for choosing it; do not assume every room has identical furnishings.

For a day around the eastern Old Town, check the walking route to St. Anne’s Church. Before reserving, confirm breakfast inclusion, room position, lift access and late arrival. A themed interior does not guarantee silence or a particular view.

Address: Bernardinų g. 8, as listed by the operator. Check the route to Užupis and your room entrance separately rather than treating all Old Town stops as equally close.

Stikliai Hotel: Room Choice in the Old Town

Stikliai Hotel is at Gaono g. 7. Its Relais & Châteaux profile lists 41 rooms. Compare the published category dimensions and layout, rather than assuming that all rooms are spacious or similarly furnished.

Stikliai may suit a stay around the Gaono and Stiklių streets. Verify current dining and leisure access, reservation requirements and any extra charges with the hotel. Neither a reputation for service nor an attractive common area guarantees a particular experience in every category.

Address: Gaono g. 7. Check the exact entrance, unloading and parking instructions; narrow Old Town streets may need different arrangements from a modern roadside hotel.

Narutis Hotel: A Base on Pilies Street

Narutis Hotel is on Pilies g. 24. The official Narutis website provides rooms, spa and booking information; its location page dates the building to 1581. This is a candidate for a Pilies Street itinerary, not a guarantee that every room contains exposed historical features.

Compare street-facing and courtyard-facing rooms if noise or outlook matters. Ask which leisure facilities are included and when they are available. Choose an actual bookable category rather than assuming a photograph of a suite represents every room.

Address: Pilies g. 24, near Vilnius University. Plan walks and vehicle access separately and ask about any steps between reception and the room.

How to Compare Your Stay

Start with the feature that matters most: PACAI’s palace setting, Shakespeare’s literary themes, Stikliai’s category and layout choices or Narutis’s Pilies Street address. Then compare the complete rate for the same dates. These are selection criteria, not a best-hotel award or a guarantee of satisfaction.

For a different budget or arrival location, browse Vilnius accommodation. For an Old Town stay, confirm breakfast, cancellation, city levy, parking, pets and late arrival before paying. This four-hotel comparison does not replace a wider accommodation search.
