History

The turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in Europe is known as a period called in France ‘La belle épogue’, meaning 'The Beautiful Period' . There were no wars, industries and trade was blossoming. Railways, press, telegraph and telephone shortened the distances. Modern aristocracy lived comfortably and was financially secure to indulge in pleasant activities. Architects established a new style appropriate for this period - art nouveau. Until then, the High Tatras were considered to be mainly a health and recreation resort. Now, they should become a meeting spot of European aristocracy. This gave the rise of new luxury hotels in Tatras more than 100 years ago. A unique hotel in Tatranska Lomnica was built by International Sleeping-car Society from Brussels (Wagons Lits Cook). Its construction, at the foot of Lomnicky Peak at an altitude of 908 m, began in 1904 and in 1905 it was finalized according to the project of architects Quido Hoepfner and Gejza Gyori from Budapest. It was opened on the 1st of July 1905.

Its location is dominant in the whole area and the hotel is clearly visible from a distance and it boasts with beautiful views. Hotel´s 102 rooms had been furnished with style and luxury. They were accompanied by beautiful halls, bar, gambling rooms and lounge and also offered a first-class service. The hotel had had an electric lighting, elevators and central heating. Its original name, Palota szallo, had changed in 1919 to Grand Hotel Praha. The hotel not only brought a well-off clientele to the region but also played a significant role in a growth of a sport industry in the High Tatras. It had built toboggan and bobsleigh tracks, facilities for summer sports and it was the first hotel running all the year round. It preserved its majestic charm up to the present day. It is a true, living legend in the middle of Slovakia´s highest mountains.
