The Celebration hall with crystal chandeliers is the most luxurious event hall in Riga. Restored to its pre-war outlook and decorated with portraits of kings, it perfectly serves for both beautiful celebrations and prominent receptions. This is the place where Latvian public officials have hosted their foreign guests and our most outstanding performers have held concerts. The Lubeck hall and offices are convenient to locate service staff and a separate banquet area; the wide terrace overlooks the Town Hall Square adjoining the hall.
The Latvian hall displays works of excellent Latvian painters of the second half of the 20th century – Indulis Zariņš, Aleksandrs Stankēvičs, Rita Valnere. The interior is made in wood and linen.
The salon, which is on the second floor of the building, features stained glass windows in which the central composition was based on a lithograph by T.A. Rickmann, featuring a view of the Grass and Apple Market.
On the ground floor of the Blackheads House there are historical cabinet that, during a temporary residence, served as the working cabinet of President of Latvia. Once there was an archive of the Blackheads as well as legendary relics.
The restored Blackheads House is built on historical, several times refurbished, medieval cellars that after the destruction of the house remained under the newly made square.
