Hotel Devin

Situated on the banks of the river Danube and designed by Slovak architect Emil Belus, the Hotel Devin is less than one kilometer from Bratislava Castle. Traditionally furnished rooms in pastel colors, with leather and dark wood antique style furniture make up the 100 guestrooms. All the rooms have views either over the Danube or of the old town, and come with air conditioning, minibars, bathrobes and satellite television. The hotel's grand restaurant offers an impressive wine list of over 200 bottles to mull over. The food has a distinctive French and Slovakian bent and is known for its surprising combinations and culinary flair. Guests can work off any overindulgence in the hotel's squash courts or in the complimentary pool, health club, spa tub, or sauna. The cafe is a more relaxed place to eat, serving snacks and cakes; the aperitif bar serves cocktails. The Municipal Museum is one kilometer from the hotel, complete with torture chambers, for the gruesomely curious, while the Museum of Wine Production is sure to be an intoxicating experience. Bratislava's Ivanka Airport is 20 minutes and eight kilometers from the hotel. Bus number 61 connects the airport and main railway station (Hlavna Stanica). Guests can take a taxi to the city center at a cost of around SKK200, or the hotel can arrange transfers to and from the airport; contact the front desk in advance to arrange this. Bus and tram services cover most of the city. Tickets are available in the ticket machines at the stops and at some newspaper stands. Please note: A city tax is applicable to all bookings; this charge is not included in the rates and is payable locally.
