The first lifestyle hotel in the Baltics, TRIBE Riga invites to immerse in our “respectful unexpected” concept, blending stories of history and chic, wisdom and joy.

Looking through the special glasses we created with this public hub, a meeting space for humans to humans, locals and visitors in town - a unique environment that exceeds traditional hospitality.
Our vision was to strip the old lobby to its bare bones, rebuilding it in harmony with the building’s identity, by telling a special story in the UNESCO heritage-protected Art Nouveau district - today.
The subtle choice of gold pipes on the ceiling, and the warm tones and forms are an invitation and guiding structure for guests through the interior. Connects and holds the dynamic of the space and all its functions day and night to keep up the awe.

Balanced with cozy nooks and inspiring elements, the space brings a superhuman communal ground for all to enjoy. By guiding guests through the interior, we shape the narrative of an ever-running user experience movie in their minds.

In this way connecting with all senses enriches the journey of exploration - in space and time, still unique for everyone.
