Get to know Villa Dr. Szontagh - the jewel of Nový Smokovec

This historic jewel, located in the heart of Nový Smokovec, is proof that even today you can experience an exceptional blend of care, design and tradition. A stay in this iconic Villa offers more than just accommodation. It is a return to the days when Dr. Mikulas Szontagh the Elder laid the foundations of a therapeutic alpine resort with a worldwide reputation. In 1876, the first sanatorium was established, which helped many patients suffering from tuberculosis and respiratory diseases thanks to its climatic treatment.
 
Nový Smokovec, which was also founded in 1876, was not only a place of treatment, but also a symbol of Dr. Szontagh's innovative thinking. His vision significantly changed the Tatra Mountains. Later, Mikuláš Szontagh the Younger was a continuation of his father's activities, in 1914 he expanded the Villa into the present "Villa Dr. Szontagh". Szontagh the younger also participated in the further significant development of Nový Smokovec and the construction of cure-houses due to the critical boom of tuberculosis in Europe.
 
A legacy that lives on
Today, this historic jewel is cared for by the Vrábel family, who continue the tradition of hospitality and care started by the Szontagh family. Now Villa of Dr. Szontagh joins the APLEND family of hotels, and these traditions will be proudly continued.
 
Come and see for yourself
This Villa is not just a place where you can stay overnight - it's a place where you'll get to know the healing history of the Tatra Mountains at every turn. Leave your moments of relaxation in the hands of a place that has won the hearts of visitors for generations.

Did you know...?

Dr. Mikuláš Szontagh's treatment was based on the unique power of the Tatra climate - he used the clean air, the richness of ozone, the lower pressure and the intense sunlight, which is even more effective at higher altitudes during inversions. The emphasis was on light-filled spaces - that is why the rooms in Villa Dr. Szontagh are oriented to catch as much daylight as possible. An exceptional example is the bedroom in the presidential suite, where the double bed is surrounded by large windows on three cardinal points.
