Žilina's most charming hotel is this early-20th-century number, with sleek, contemporary rooms behind an original art-nouveau facade. An attractive wellness zone, complete with Finnish sauna and Jacuzzi, lift it to four-star standards, along with business-friendly perks and one of the top tables in town. Breakfast is €10, parking an extra €7.
The classy restaurant favours Mediterranean produce, with the occasional Austro-Hungarian classic thrown in: your pick of ratatouille, spaghetti carbonara and pork steak.
