Welcome
Famous historic hotels are an unique part of our cultural heritage. They are the venue for important historic events, stage for extraordinary people – staff and guests alike.
They were the originators – and today they are the keepers – of hospitality traditions. They are a showroom of technical innovations.
We have to treasure our past to safeguard the future.
