Hotel Transilvania in Cluj-Napoca has been admitted to the Historic Cafes Route cultural route, under the High Patronage of the Council of Europe. Hotel Transilvania is mentioned in Bram Stoker’s famous novel “Dracula” as the place where British lawyer Jonathan Harker stayed, summoned by the Vampire Count to mediate a real estate transaction in England.<\/p>\n
The Historic Cafes Route, or Europe’s “Golden Cafes Route,” is one of the 49 cultural routes accredited by the Council of Europe. Hotel Transilvania’s inclusion in the Historic Cafes Route will be marked by a special event scheduled for June 29, at 12:00 PM. The highlight of the event will be the decoration of the building with the Council of Europe’s honorary plaque, along with the first official speech by Mr. Arnold Gunter Klingeis, the new president of the Historic Cafes Route in Europe, representing 47 member states of the Council of Europe.<\/p>\n
The induction event coincides with Arnold Gunter Klingeis, representative of Brukenthal Palace Cafe Avrig, officially taking office as President of the Historic Cafes Route. This is the first time in history that a Romanian citizen has become the president of a European cultural route.<\/p>\n
The ceremony includes, alongside the official festive moments, fashion shows, live musical recitals, a screening of a short documentary film about the most famous adaptations of the celebrated novel Dracula, as well as an invitation to a culinary journey inspired by the historical menus of the Cluj hotel’s restaurant.<\/p>\n
