Grand Hotel Vilnius, Curio Collection by Hilton

Grand Hotel Vilnius, Curio Collection by Hilton Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Grand Hotel Vilnius, Curio Collection by Hilton feels like stepping into a piece of Lithuanian history — but with all the modern touches you’d expect from a five-star property. The building itself has this elegant, almost regal presence on Universiteto Street, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better. You’re literally in the heart of Vilnius Old Town, surrounded by cobblestone streets and medieval architecture that makes every walk feel like a small adventure.

The Location Magic

Here’s what I love about staying here — you can walk to pretty much everything worth seeing in Old Town within minutes. The Presidential Palace is practically next door, and you’re just a short stroll from Cathedral Square and Gediminas Tower. What really struck me is how couples seem to gravitate toward this place (they rate the location incredibly highly), and I get why. There’s something romantic about being able to wander through those narrow streets at night, then retreat to luxury when you’re ready. The private parking is actually a huge bonus too, since driving in Old Town can be… well, let’s just say it’s not for everyone.

The Room Experience

The rooms here are genuinely comfortable — and I mean that in the best way possible. You know how some hotels look great but the beds are terrible? Not the case here. I actually slept better than I expected, which is saying something since I’m usually pretty picky about mattresses. The room design strikes this nice balance between classic elegance and modern functionality, with enough space to actually unpack and settle in properly. The bathrooms are well-appointed without being over-the-top, and the views (depending on which side you’re on) give you glimpses of the Old Town’s rooftops and spires.

Dining and Breakfast

The food situation here is honestly impressive. The restaurant serves meals that go beyond typical hotel fare — there’s real thought put into the menu, and you can taste the difference. Breakfast is where they really shine though, with options for pretty much every dietary preference you can think of. Continental, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free — they’ve got it covered in a proper buffet setup. I appreciated not having to hunt around the city for a decent breakfast spot, especially when you want to fuel up before a day of exploring those medieval streets.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back (and there are quite a few repeat guests, which tells you something) is probably the combination of that unbeatable Old Town location with genuine luxury service. It’s not trying too hard to be trendy or flashy — instead, it delivers on the fundamentals really well. You get the prestige of staying in a historic part of the city without sacrificing comfort or modern amenities. The staff seems to understand that travelers want to experience Vilnius, not just pass through it, and they’re genuinely helpful with recommendations and local insights that make a difference in how you experience the city.

• Tomas from United Kingdom (10/10)

  I really didn't want to stay in this hotel, but most 5 star hotels were fully booked in Vilnius for the dates I needed so decided to bite the bullet and pick Grant Hotel Vilnius. I have to say, that my views on this hotel changed very quickly, I think the pictures on booking.com doesn't do the justice for this hotel, the decor in those pictures inside the rooms looks dated, but it really isn't. The lobby is fantastic, the location is fantastic, the service is fantastic, the staff are fantastic, the restaurant is super fantastic, the rooms are fantastic and the bed is super comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here and my wife has already asked me to stay here again when we visit Vilnius again, instead of staying in our usual favourite hotel in Vilnius.

  The best hotel we ever been! Service was fantastic and the facilities were also top notch! The view from the balcony was exactly what we wanted. Massive thumbs up for the honest advertising! Shame about the jacuzzi being under maintenance during our stay, but otherwise this was one of our best hotel experiences!
