HanseaticLifestyle

During the last 2 decades the century old Hanseatic trad-ing  links of the Baltic Sea region has been re-established and the countries have been re-integrated the big family of Europe nations. We are aware of our responsibility in this process and we are committed to history and mobility, to culture and intellect, to ecology and nature and to progress and social responsibility.

We are also committed to giving our customers the best the region has to offer with a comprehensive and sophisticated product, with professionalism and integrity and with innova-tion and style.  In medieval times a word between two Hanseatic tradesmen was a fi rm accord. Today we are still trading in the best of the Hanseatic traditions.

to century old traditions”

“The most successful ideas often sparkle in the world of opposites and contrasts”

Out of the tremendous contrasts characterizing the Baltic Sea region 20 years ago emerged an operation where Scandi-navians, Baltic people, Russians and others found together to lay the foundation for a one of the most remarkable tourism and hospitality companies in the Baltic Sea region.

Over time the company has become a large, creative and in-novative operation that has put its own distinct mark on the tourism and hospitality industry in the Baltic Sea region.

VIA HANSA is a leading tour operator, destination manage-ment company, hospitality service provider and lifestyle company in the Baltic Sea region.

VIA HANSA has developed a diverse Baltic Sea Hospital-ity Collection, which includes a number of tour operating companies, destination management companies, specialized hospitality providers, hotels and restaurants, design and life-style companies.

A Touch of Luxury and Style

Vihula Manor was acquired by Via Hansa in 2008 and over 4 years we completely restored it to its former glory and beauty.

The restoration preserved the historical concept of a Baltic manor as an independent economical unit and developed Vihula Manor into a full service resort, a cultural centre and an important tourist attraction.

“It was not very nice weather on the day we fi rst saw it, but it is the sort of place you instantly fall in love with when you see it for the fi rst time”

The buildings of the estate have, one by one, been painstak-ingly restored with the utmost care for retaining the historical authenticity of each building and of the estate as a whole.

The restoration has combined historical ambience with a daring design. The historical atmosphere is enhanced by de-tails that have survived the centuries, such as wooden fl oor-boards, ornamented ceilings, original fi replaces, large bright windows and handsome façades. Other than that, the style is strictly and daringly minimalist with bright walls, open spac-es, Scandinavian design and all the modern conveniences that can be expected from a contemporary luxurious resort.

Vihula Manor has been developed with a green concept with strong focus on nature and environmental friendly solutions in all aspects – from using natural materials in the construc-tion and design to energy-saving power solutions and from local organic food served in the restaurants to 100% natural treatments in the Eco-SPA.

Vihula Manor was reborn on the 1st of June 2008 as the Vi-hula Manor Country Club & Spa by Unique Hotels.

“La Bohème, la Bohème, Ca voulait dire, on est heureux”

Throughout time La Boheme has been changing our lives. La Boheme brought to us the world of passion, love, style and intellectual freedom. From Henri Murger and Giacomo Puccini to Charles Aznavour the poor artists of Montmartre were an endless source of inspiration.

La Boheme opened its fi rst outlet in the Art Nouveau district in Riga in April 2006 and it has even since been standing out as one of the most successful gourmet restaurants in the city.

Due to the success in Riga another restaurant was opened at Vihula Manor Country Club & Spa in April 2010.

The La Boheme restaurants are a combination of an up-scale lifestyle cafe and fi ne dining restaurant in friendly, cosy, ca-sual, yet classy, tasteful and elegant environment.

Kaval-Ants taverns are authentic Estonian taverns taking the name from an old Estonian folktale about the farm hand Ka-val-Ants (Tricky Ants), who was so clever that he managed to outwit even Vanapagan (Old Nick).

The Kaval-Ants taverns are featuring limestone walls deco-rated with old farm tools, wooden beams, waitresses in tra-ditional Estonian costumes, Estonian folklore music, tradi-tional Estonian countryside cuisine based on natural and ecologically balanced produce and a large selections of beer and ale.

One tavern is located in the middle of Tallinn in the reno-vated horse stables of the 1876 city estate of Baron Theo-phil von Stackleberg at the Hotel von Stackelberg Tallinn and another one is located in Lahemaa National Park in the renovated historical Ice-Cellar of the estate at Vihula Manor Country Club & Spa.
