Decebal hotel in Băile Herculane, Historic monument hotel in Băile Herculane, Romania.
The Decebal Hotel is a four-level building with an H-shaped layout and two projecting side structures, decorated with horizontal color strips across its facade. These decorative elements give the exterior a distinctive structured appearance.
The hotel was built between 1860 and 1862, originally named Hotel Ferdinand and later called Hotel Franz Josef before receiving its current name. These name changes reflect the shifting political influences in the region during that period.
The central entrance section displays statues of Aesculapius and Hygeia on the first floor, while reliefs on the second floor commemorate the building's construction period.
The building is located at Cerna Street number 20 and features one basement level and three floors above ground. Access is straightforward since the address is centrally positioned in the spa town.
Local stories tell of metal detectors indicating large quantities of gold beneath the building, supposedly guarded by a white-dressed figure. This legend has persisted in local memory for many years.
