  Hungary's third largest city--Miskolc--sits at the foot of the Bükk Mountains. The historic region is home to the 15th-century Avas Church, which sits atop Mt. Avas, and its viewing tower provides panoramic views of the city. The famous thermal baths in the cave system of nearby Miskolctapolca are enormously popular, and several resorts populate the outlying mountain areas. The city itself offers museums, authentic eateries, a theater and an array of accommodation options for visiting guests.

The Big Ben Cafe serves regional Hungarian dishes in the dining rooms or street-front under the covered terrace. Hungary's first stone-built theater, the Miskolc National Theatre, is located a two-minute walk from the hotel. It is home to the oldest theater company in the country and hosts plays and special events including the International Opera Festival of Miskolc.
