Keresés:
Halfway on the motorway between Vienna and Budapest, near the Austrian and Slovakian borders lies this mellow and colourful town Győr.
Győr, Hungary’s second richest town in historic buildings outside Budapest has won Europe-award for the protection of the historic buildings, in acknowledgment of the reconstruction of the Baroque centre of the town. Churches, palaces, museums, characteristic corner-balconies and narrow lanes, all reminders of a historic past, invite visitors to take a walk in the centre of the town.
There are such a great pieces of architecture as the Bishop's Castle, with its colourful tower; the Carmelite and St Ignatius churches; and the 18th-century Zichy Palace.
After rambling among the sights, settle down for some well-earned refreshment at one of the many coffee houses and restaurants that pepper the ancient streets.
The Klastrom Hotel is cherishing the atmosphere of the former cloister and the characteristic of the baroque time. The square building has an inner yard. The rooms are in three wings. The West-win rooms are facing to the bank of Rába river, the other rooms are facing to the amazing inner yard.
The pictures in the rooms - showing Győr 50 years ago - guide our guests to the past. The rooms were rebuilt from the former cells of monks keeping the original atmosphere. 40 rooms equipped with bathroom, minibar, colour TV, telephone help you to feel comfortable.
The three star Hotel Baross, located 100 meters from our clinic, with friendly atmosphere and outstanding service quality, has been awaiting its old and prospective guests since spring of 1999. The hotel building was built in the 30-s in Győr-Nádorváros part of town.
The two-storey building then served as a residential place. In 1998 it was bought by its current owner who preserved its exterior aspect and transformed it into a hotel by building an attic to provide it with more room.
This family owned and run business is about 800 metres from the pedestrian precinct (Baross street), and can easily be reached by car and it is about 600 metres from the bus and the railway station.
The city centre is packed with fascinating museums offering displays of local artefacts, Renaissance and Baroque furniture, and the wonderful ceramics of Margit Kovács.
