Panorama Hotel

Lviv


The Panorama has been a hotel since 1875 though it operated under a variety of names. Today the 51 vista-rich rooms are studies in crisp, 3rd-millennium style with bold fabrics contrasting with sepia and beige fittings. It's one of the few hotels that caters to both business clients and families; there's a gym, beauty salon and excursion bureau in the building.
