		For the ongoing 300 years Bratislava also served as the Coronation Town of both Hungarian and Austrian emperors, among which Maria Theresia was the most important one.
		By the time the Austro-Hungarian Empire fell apart in 1918, Bratislava lost a bit of its former importance, but the glamour remained until the unfortunate events of 1939, 1948, and 1968.
		Luckily, the spirits of Bratislava locals have not faded and the former pride of being called a "Bratislavcan" (born in Bratislava) begins to glow more and more intensively.

		From Bratislava you could go by a highway to Trencin, which is a nice typical Slovak city.
		The people are MUCH friendlier and the prices MUCH lower outside the city...The Old Town is nice, and deserves a day or two, but that's about it unless you meet people there who know the local places.
		The hotel has the old world charm you are looking for (not to mention incredible mountain views from the rooms).
