The Baile Govora resort has existed since 1887, after the discovery in 1881 of several springs whose waters contained iodine, sulfur and bromine - a combination that attracted the attention of the then Prime Minister, I.C. Bratianu. He saw the opportunity to develop a spa resort to compete with the most famous resorts in France, England, Austria, countries that had been practicing spa cures since the 17th century. Benefitting from an absolutely incredible natural setting, in the middle of the largest spa park in Romania, our hotel can offer you unforgettable moments, especially when everyday stress becomes enemy number 1. Palace-Spa-Center - electic art nouveau architecture The eclectic architecture with art nouveau influences and neo-Romanesque inspired elements transform Romania's first spa hotel into a historical monument. The hotel was built by the French architect Ernest Doneaud, together with the engineers Bratescu and Pukliky, from 1911 to 1914. The 365 gaps in the walls of the building symbolize the days of an entire year, and the hotel's east-west position allows the sun to shine into every room in the hotel on any given day. An incursion into the elegant atmosphere of the 1920s, along with contemporary details will delight your senses during your stay with us. We pride ourselves on the quality service we offer to our guests. So, we invite you to enjoy all the hotel's facilities which include: 132 accommodations, a la carte restaurant, day bar, terrace, conference rooms, boutique shop with hand-made handicrafts, spa center for respiratory and rheumatic diseases, cardiology center, and last but not least a new Spa Center for a complete experience. Currently, the spa center utilizes the same waters and the same therapies, but with more advanced equipment. The principles are the same, with the spa therapies, and with the help of the waters - which we use in both internal and external cures - the air in the spa park and the respiratory gymnastics exercises, here we heal sick people of any age, even infants with respiratory disorders.
