It was built by employing the State funds and the total cost amounted to 2.5 mln of lats. The hydrotherapy rooms located on the ground floor provided therapeutic services in Kemeri during the all year round. Stylistically the Kemeri Hotel is one of the most brilliant Neo-eclectic architecture examples in Latvian architecture. In order to attract foreign tourists in year 1937 and 1939 there were chess tournaments organized in Kemeri that were the greatest events in Jurmala sports life during the interwar period. During the Soviet era there was installed a sanatorium “Kemeri” that was known by its modern medicinal devices and newest treatment methods that were used in therapy.
