The "Hotel Astoria" was built 1904 by Frantz Eduard. At that time the hotel, with a sounding name "Villa Louise", was distinguished by its terraces, prestigious hallway, palm trees and parks in Austrian Mediterranean style. The Astoria Design Hotel, proud of its architectural heritage originating from 1904, stands for a successful blend of modern design and imperial style. Its contemporary interior extends a particularly warm welcome while integrating comfort and lifestyle character. Each of the 50 air-conditioned guestrooms and suites is decorated in natural tones with clean-lined furniture and equipped with the latest technology: flat screens, Sat-TV and high speed internet access. The elegant top floor has six executive suites, some with a spacious terrace and spectacular sea view. The charming restaurant with its sunny terrace invites to enjoy the specialities from the local and international cuisine, whereas the comfortable atmosphere at the bar is an ideal spot for cocktail evenings. Please note that there is a city tax that is payable directly to the hotel upon arrival. *** The hotel will be closed from 14/11/09 to 30/12/09 then it will open for the New Year from 30/12/09 to 03/01/10 and then close again until 31/03/10. ***
