History

This was one of the oldest hotels in Kolozsvár. It is named after its builder, the Italian Gaetano Biasini (1790-1847). The fencing master from Milan arrived in the Kolozsvár in 1818 and married a girl from Kolozsvár. The hotel was built in 1837. Its café became the cultural centre of the town. The composer Liszt Ferenc stayed here between November and 8 December 1847, the poet Petőfi Sándor and his wife on their honeymoon from 21 to 24 October 1847, and Jókai Mór in 1853 also stayed here. From the 1860s, the hotel was pushed to the background by the opening of the Pannonia and the National Hotel. During the First World War it became a brothel and was then divided into apartments.
