Dacia Hotel, originally Pannonia Hotel (in Hungarian: Pannónia Szálló) located in Satu Mare (in Hungarian: Szatmárnémeti), present-day Romania, was built at the beginning of the 20th century, on the site of previous town hall. The façade, generously embellished with plant motifs, is made from enamelled ceramic.
The building was built in 1902 in Hungarian Secession style, based on plans drawn by architects Zoltán Bálint and Lajos Frommer. Initially named the Pannonia Hotel, it was renamed the Dacia Hotel after the Union of Transylvania with Romania in the wake of World War I. Being the most beautiful hotel in the city, notables such as Liviu Rebreanu, Mihail Sadoveanu, Nicolae Iorga, and Octavian Goga stayed here.[1]
The hotel was nationalized by Communist Romania after World War II, and privatized in 1995, after the Romanian Revolution of 1989. In 2007, the Dacia Hotel was bought by Vasile Țânțaș for 1.7 million Euros. After being abandoned for years, the property was purchased in 2018 by Tamás Leisztinger, a Hungarian investor close to the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán[2]
