位于罗马尼亚克鲁日克卢日-纳波卡的房产，其曾是一栋建于1894年，1895年开业，名为“纽约”的酒店。这座昔日酒店位于市中心，在坐落在纳波卡街和大学街的交叉口，转角建筑充分呈现了那个时代兼收并蓄的建筑风格，融合了新巴洛克和古典主义的元素。该酒店建于奥匈帝国的经济发展时期，当时，许多公共建筑在帝国疆域上拔地而起。在20世纪最初的几十年里，拉霍斯·派基（Lajos Pakey）是这座城市的首席建筑师。他设计的建筑有滑冰馆（今天的Chios餐厅）、中央公园的赌场、位于Bariţiu街的科技大学的两座建筑还有前布拉赛高中——所有这些都采用了相同的兼容并蓄的建筑风格。有传言称，位于克鲁日-纳波卡的纽约酒店灵感来源于布达佩斯同名酒店，后者于1894年10月落成。而该酒店的家具实际上也来自布达佩斯的同名酒店，上面标有纽约的英文字母缩写NY，正是这个小小的细节奠定了克鲁日酒店的名字。如果说，在当时，位于市中心的比亚西尼酒店（1840年竣工）已经接待了许多到访这座城市的名流，那么，拥有雅致客房和现代设施的全新纽约酒店即将成为这些达官显贵下榻的新目的地。当时，纽约是特兰西瓦尼亚最大的酒店。这座建筑配备了自己的发电机，是该市第一座电气化建筑，而整个克鲁日直到1906年7月15日才通电。建筑师派基设想在一楼营造一个华丽的空间，让酒店的餐厅和咖啡馆既向住客开放，也接待外来游客。由于地处中心位置，距离著名报社和大学办公室仅几步之遥，这家在蓝色沙龙（The Blue Salon）举办的咖啡馆很快便成为波西米亚精英的聚集地，记者、作家和学者经常光顾此地。这家咖啡馆甚至被称为“编辑部”，是文学俱乐部的所在地，而大厅则是用来举办舞会的。这家文艺咖啡馆经营了半个世纪，直到第二次世界大战结束。传闻称，就连著名的剧作家卡拉格亚勒（Caragiale）也会到这里来享用咖啡；而罗马尼亚前总理奥克塔维安·戈加（Octavian Goga）完全有可能在纽约酒店的餐厅里被毒死，因为每当他前往Ciucea，途中总会在那里用餐。共产主义政权建立后，酒店被改造成学生宿舍，从1960年起成为一家名为大陆（Continental）的酒店。餐馆继续营业，精致的空间，配有大镜子和华丽的吊灯，营造出一种特殊的氛围。21世纪初，这个空间仍然开放，并已被纳入同名的国家连锁酒店。现在的建筑仍保有昔日的魅力，并带着一种特殊的自豪感，它曾经历过的辉煌岁月滋养了它，如今，它对同样光明的未来充满希望。外墙已经完全翻新，外观看起来完美无瑕，就像在酒店的巅峰时代一样。修复工程始于2016年，除了外墙的翻新之外，还格外注重对屋顶和地基进行加固并加装保温隔热层。这项工程是由专门从事历史建筑修复的建筑师、工程师和施工团队实施的。精美绝伦的酒店内部空间保留了昔日使其名扬四海的建筑元素，但尚需进行额外的修复和翻新工程。目前，该建筑有潜力容纳100间酒店客房，加上餐厅、咖啡馆和会议室，通过扩建阁楼，还可进一步扩大容量。作为克鲁日的象征，纽约酒店（现为大陆酒店）十分值得投资者关注，因其具有非凡的旅游和商业潜力。欢迎了解/选购罗马尼亚克鲁日克卢日-纳波卡房产。
The former hotel was built in 1894 and opened in 1895, under the name "New York". Located in the heart of the city, at the intersection of Napoca street and University street, the corner building was constructed in the eclectic fashion of the era, a mixture of neo-baroque and classicist elements. The construction of the hotel took place during a period of economic development of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, when numerous public buildings were built on its territory. Lajos Pákey (Pákei), was the chief architect of the city in the first decades of the 20th century. The buildings designed by him are the Skating Pavilion (today the Chios restaurant) and the Casino in the Central Park, the two buildings of the Technical University on Bariţiu street, the former Brassai High School - all in the same eclectic architectural style. Rumors are that the New York hotel in Cluj-Napoca was inspired by the homonymous hotel in Budapest, inaugurated in October 1894. The furniture pieces were actually brought from it, being marked with the NY monogram, detail that inspired the name of the hotel in Cluj. If by then the Biasini Hotel in the center (completed in 1840) hosted the many personalities arrived in the city, the new building with elegant rooms and modern facilities would become the new destination. At that time, New York was the largest hotel in Transylvania. The building was equipped with its own power generator and was the first electrified building in the city, electricity being introduced in Cluj only on July 15, 1906. Architect Pákey envisioned the construction with sumptuous spaces on the ground floor, for the restaurant and the café opened to guests, but also to visitors from outside. Due to its central location, a few steps away from the offices of well-known newspapers and the University, the café, hosted in The Blue Salon, quickly became the meeting point of the bohemian elite, frequented by journalists, writers and academics. Known as the "Editorial", the café housed literary clubs, and the great hall was used for balls. The literary café operated for half a century, until the end of the Second World War. According to the legend, even the well-known playwright I.L. Caragiale would have enjoyed a coffee here, and Prime Minister Octavian Goga would have been fatally poisoned in the restaurant of the New York Hotel, where he stopped on his way to Ciucea. After the establishment of the communist regime, the hotel was transformed into a student dormitory, and since 1960 it became a hotel under the name Continental. The restaurant continued to function; the refined space, with large mirrors and sumptuous chandeliers, created a special ambience. At the beginning of the 2000s, the space was still open, being included in the national hotel chain with the same name. The current building preserves its charm, with a particular pride, nourished by the glory days it has lived and animated with hope for an equally bright future. The facades have been completely renovated, and the exterior looks flawless, as in the peak era of the hotel. The restoration process began in 2016 and, in addition to the facade’s renovation, also took care of the roof and the consolidation plus insulation of the foundation. The works were carried out by teams of architects, engineers and workers specialized in the restoration of historic buildings. The exuberant interior retains today the architectural elements that made it famous at the time, but will require an additional restoration and renovation process. At present, the building has potential for 100 hotel rooms, plus restaurant, café and conference room, and through the expansion of the attic, the capacity can be further increased. A symbol of Cluj, the New York Hotel (currently, Continental), deserves the attention of the investors, having an extraordinary touristic and commercial potential.
