New 'capsule hotel' opens at Rīga Airport

What is claimed to be the first airport capsule hotel in the Baltics, dubbed Kepler Club, has opened at Riga Airport.

Kepler Club offers travelers accommodation and airport hospitality services. The hotel provides amenities for passengers looking to rest between their flights or before early morning or late night flights. The hotel features 74 miniature 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. 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 travelers 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,” said Artūrs Saveļjevs, Member of the Board of RIX Riga Airport, at the hotel’s opening.

The hotel offers self-service check-in and check-out kiosks, TV with access to Netflix, YouTube and 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 without leaving their rest pod. Other services such as shower facilities, locker rooms, laundry services 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.
