Welcome to Narva

The Narva Hotel, which opened its doors in September 2004, became the first hotel in North-Eastern Estonia to be awarded the three star status.

The post-Soviet hotel has re-opened and currently offers 85 sleeping positions with plans for further expansion. Over two thousand tourists visited the Narva since its reopening. The hotel management notes that this figure corresponds to their initial expectations, while the director assures about the growth in tourist showings in Narva is justified in the actual statistics.

In August 2005 Inger Hotel was opened, too. "Inger" stands for the name of a mermaid who according to the legend lives in the river Narova. The new hotel can accommodate up to 86 guests at a time. On the ground floor there is a restaurant "Salvador" for 115 visitors. From now on, tourists don't just pass through Narva like they did in the past, as there was no relevant infrastructure.

The city of Narva was recently represented at the international tourist exhibition "INWETEX - CIS TRAVEL MARKET'2005", which took place in October in Saint-Petersburg. This is one of the largest tourist exhibitions in Russia, therefore it was extremely significant for Narva to advertise itself at this forum. Tour-operators, tour-agents, insurance companies, hotels, associations, national organizations and mass media took part in the exhibition. Narva presented itself by means of fresh information materials that have been specially prepared for the exhibition. Beside the tourist potential of the city as a whole, the two new hotels - "Inger" and "Narva" - were advertised.

Participation of Narva at this exhibition can considerably raise interest of Russian tourists in Narva. Russian tourists may feel comfortable in the town, since practically all the inhabitants do speak Russian.
