History
Hotel Telegraaf occupies one of the grandest buildings in Tallinn's medieval Old Town, constructed in 1878 to designs by the St. Petersburg architect Peter Schreiberg. Originally home to a branch of a commercial bank with elegant apartments above, it later became the city's post and telegraph office, giving the hotel its name, and operated as a communications hub until 1991. The building is also tied to Estonia's history, having been a target during the 1924 coup attempt.
After Estonia regained independence, the building underwent a major refurbishment and reopened as the luxury Hotel Telegraaf in 2007. Blending Art Deco décor with modern design, it offers 83 rooms and suites and a spa, and in summer 2017 it became the first hotel in Estonia to join Marriott's Autograph Collection.
