After the renewed premises of the Vilnius TV Tower were opened on Tuesday, it is now possible to rent apartments at the historic building for between 796 and 954 euros per night.
The Vilnius TV Tower now has a refurbished bar, a meeting room, and two apartments, called Upė (River) and Miestas (City). According to the booking.com website, the apartments can be booked from next week. They are rented directly to customers by the state-owned Lithuanian Radio and Television Centre (Telecentras).
According to Valdas Kaminskas, head of communications at Telecentras, the apartments oversee different panoramas of the city.
“One view is directed towards Vingis Park, while the other is more towards the city. The apartments are dominated by an oval shape, which echoes the roundness of the TV Tower,” he said.
Asked about the price, Kaminskas noted that apartments are aimed at an exclusive segment of consumers.
“These are the people who can either afford or are curious and can rent, try, experience a certain luxury,” he said, adding that the price is similar to apartments in TV Towers in other countries.
With an opening event on Tuesday, the state-owned Telecentras completed a part of the reconstruction of the Vilnius TV Tower, worth 5.35 million euros.
“With the opening of the new spaces in the upper cup of the TV tower, the reconstruction works will continue – they will move to the restaurant Paukščių Takas. On the floor below the restaurant, it is also planned to open another open observation deck,” Remigijus Šeris, the head of Telecentras, said at the event.
On Tuesday, the bistro-bar Toliai opened on the 67th floor of the tower and the meeting room, with lounges for small events, opened on the floor above it.
The Vilnius TV Tower is the tallest building in Lithuania and is included in the Cultural Heritage Register. The 326-metre-high tower was built in 1980.
