The Narutis Hotel's building is the architectural monument of the 16th century that was specially built to house a hotel and was first mentioned in 1581 in the Book of World Cities published in Cologne. In the 16-19th centuries professors, scholars and students whose families belonged to the nobility of the University of Vilnius, one of the oldest universities in Eastern Europe, as well as famous people of science and culture lived in the Hotel. Poets Adam Miczkiewicz and Juliusz Slowacki, writer and historian Kraszewski have lived and worked in this building. The Narutis Hotel is one of the most unique hotels in Eastern Europe because it preserved its original structure from the Middle Ages, and it has its own closed inner courtyard which was covered with a glass roof during the major reconstruction 5 years ago.
