Savoy Hotel, arranged in a modernist villa from 1935,[1] is a four-star hotel in the western Romanian city of Timișoara.
History
Savoy Hotel is housed in the former Constantin Purcariu Villa, a modernist villa from the interwar period situated behind Alpinet Park. The building permit was granted on 1 April 1934 to Constantin Purcariu, a prominent builder in interwar-era Timișoara.[2]
Architecture
The building was designed by renowned local architect Albert Kristóf-Krausz, who skillfully integrated morphological elements characteristic of modernist architecture into a sophisticated composition defined by vertical accents. The interplay of simple geometric volumes creates a visually complex structure, though it no longer retains the original textures and finishes typical of the modernist style.[2]
Amenities
The hotel offers 55 rooms in total, including two studios and two apartments. It also features two meeting rooms with a combined capacity of 71 guests.[3] On-site amenities include a restaurant serving classic cuisine, a cocktail bar, a sauna, and a fitness room.[4]
