Lydia cares

Lydia Hotel can also be conveniently reached by two-wheeler – it is one of the greenest modes of transportation and a good way to reduce the environmental impact we cause. Thanks to the bicycle circulation project of the city of Tartu, everyone can conveniently rent either an electric or a regular bike and go explore the city of good ideas. You can find more information about the Tartu Smart Bike Share and bicycle parking lots near the Lydia hotel HERE. The city of Tartu offers wonderful opportunities to enjoy greenery and walking in the parks right in the heart of the city. Lydia is located next to Pirogov Park, where you can walk to the picturesque Toomemägi. From the hotel, you can go across the road to Barclay Square, which leads directly to the world full of history, to the Barclay de Tolly monument.

We recommend our guests visit museums in Tartu, which also contribute to and engage in the green initiatives.

The installation of beehives was part of the year of green actions of Estiko Group and Lydia Hotel, through which we want to contribute more and more to the green living environment and contribute to the preservation of Tartu’s biodiversity.

Lydia’s bees come from the village of Lõhavere in Viljandi country under the hands of beekeeper Laine Jürgenson. Bees of the Krain breed are generally very calm and only fly between their hive and the collection area.

Our hives are insulated so the bees also stay during the winter on the roof of the hotel. We usually take honey twice during the summer: in July and at the end of August. We get an average of 15-25 kg of honey from both hives.
