While the world is now dominated by the predictably designed uniforms of globalised hotel chains everywhere, it’s a distinct pleasure to find a place to stay during a pleasant trip that offers affordable premium quality in a unique style. Just like Panorama Boutique Hotel near Sfântu Gheorghe in Transylvania.
After a long journey through the beautiful mountains of Transylvania and all the beautiful sights, it’s understandable that in the evening you want a place to stay that retains the atmosphere of a wild and legendary land, but with the warmth of home – far away. In this respect, the four-star Panorama Boutique Hotel is the perfect choice, where the rooms with their natural ambience offer a perfect night’s sleep and maximum pampering for guests who are tired from the long distance. They will be delighted to find that the three different shades of green, blue and brown – reminiscent of nature – in each of the rooms are covered in natural wood, bringing the outside world closer, while premium quality materials in every element of the room and bathroom ensure well-being.
The hotel, opened in 2018, is unique not only because it is located 8 km from Sfântu Gheorghe, on the outskirts of the former resort of Voropatak, famous for its iron and carbonic acid thermal waters, just 25 km from Brasov. What is even more exciting is that the hotel, situated in two hectare of woodland of exceptional beauty, is literally in the soft lap of nature, with its own fenced forest area. This ensures the safety and comfort of visitors in a family-friendly environment, as the hotel has been awarded the Safe Place certification by Visit Covasna. The walkway in the wooded area is a rarity, with the canopy of the huge oak and beech trees of this special place hugging together like a chapel dome created by nature. Below which a statue of Blessed Lord Jesus completes the feeling of a natural sanctuary.
And in the morning, there are few more uplifting feelings than waking up, looking out of the window and breathing in the fresh air, and being greeted by the soothing sight of the nearby forest. The embrace of nature can also be experienced in the garden, when enjoying breakfast or during the day, the gastronomic delights of the Panorama Bistro, where you can order the best local spirits and a selection of the most popular dishes of Transylvanian and international cuisine, prepared with fresh local ingredients.
And if you walk from the forest to the other side of the building, you can stroll through the well-kept gardens, reminiscent of the most beautiful parks, and enjoy the magnificent views of the surrounding hills and mountains. The jewel of the garden is the hotel’s large, heated and cooled marquee, which can be used for large-scale family events and corporate functions.
In addition to the pleasant walks, the exclusive spa area of the hotel guarantees total rejuvenation, with hot and cold water showers, a salt sauna and a Finnish sauna, which complete the relaxation and stress relief for those who wish to recharge their body and soul. Those who have visited the sights of the area, such as the Szekler National Museum, the Hasmann Paul Museum, Chernaton, Sugásfürdő, Lake St. Anne, Brasov, Brasov Poiana and the wonders of Barcarozsnyo Castle, are sure to return to Panorama Boutique Hotel at the end of the day with unforgettable experiences. Where you can leave the stress of the big city behind and enjoy the hospitality of Szeklerland and truly find an oasis of peace and tranquillity.
