Riga Airport has welcomed the opening of Kepler Club – the first new concept airport hotel in the Baltics. The airport capsule hotel offers travellers accommodation and airport hospitality services. It features 74 comfortable personal and private sleeping cabins, with a minimum stay time of one hour.
“We are pleased to enhance Riga Airport’s range of offers with a unique service for the Baltic region – the first airport capsule hotel,” said Artūrs Saveļjevs, Member of the Board of RIX Riga Airport. “As passenger numbers continue to grow, we are always looking for ways to improve our service level and explore new opportunities for passenger experience and comfort. The Kepler Club offer will be especially appreciated by travellers for whom Riga is a stopover point for their onward flights, as well as those with early morning or late evening flights. This new service is important for Riga and Riga Airport as a regional air hub, and it also strengthens Riga’s position as a Northern European travel hub.”
Kepler Club combines high-quality hospitality services with the latest technologies. The hotel offers self-service check-in and check-out kiosks, KeplerTV with access to Netflix, YouTube and other cable channels, as well as smart bathroom facilities. Personal tablets allow guests to access online flight information, shop at duty free stores, communicate with the hotel reception, and place orders at KeplerShop without leaving their rest pod. Other services such as shower facilities, locker rooms, laundry service and a lounge service are also present.
The hotel is divided into two zones: one accessible to passengers before the security check for passengers whose boarding pass is not issued yet, and the other after security for those already in the terminal’s departure passenger area waiting for their next flight. Both zones offer separate cabins for men and women, with one family room located in the public area. The dressing rooms are equipped with lockers, towels, showers, and modern amenities. The hotel’s lounges in both zones include free access to wireless internet, coffee, tea, and drinking water. Entertainment devices, including PS5 and arcade games, are also available for guests to use free of charge in the departure passenger area lounge.
