Rotermann Quarter is Tallinn’s modern in-between: renovated industrial architecture, great access to Old Town and the waterfront, and a stylish base for city breaks.

What Rotermann Feels Like

Rotermann blends old industrial textures with contemporary architecture. It’s polished and central — perfect if you want a modern Tallinn base that still feels close to everything.

It’s the “between zone”: Old Town on one side, harbor/waterfront on the other, and easy access to shopping and restaurants.

A Little Context

Historically, this area was shaped by the Rotermann industrial complex. Today it’s one of the clearest examples of Tallinn’s modern renovation style: old brick + new glass and steel.

Why It’s a Great Base

  • Easy walk to Old Town.
  • Easy access to the waterfront.
  • Great for short trips where convenience matters.

How to Use Rotermann on a Trip

Rotermann is most useful as a connector:

  • Morning: Old Town lanes and viewpoints
  • Afternoon: Rotermann lunch + modern-city wandering

Use Rotermann as your “between” zone: Old Town mornings, Kadriorg afternoons, Telliskivi evenings.
