Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic with 400 000 inhabitants. It is a significant commercial, cultural and social center located directly in the heart of a wine-growing region of South Moravia. First written documents mentioning Brno date back to 1091. Brno was always an important trading crossroads for journeys from the Baltic to the Adriatic Sea and from the West to the East. The silhouette of Brno is highlighted by the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul and the Špilberk fortress from the 13th century, while Hotel International is situated right between them.

In the modern history the town became known for the famous Masaryk Race Track and names like Chiron, Nuvolari or Agostini. There is also one of the most beautiful European Exhibition Grounds from the 20s of this century, which is famous not only for important exhibitions but also for the functionalism architecture typical for Brno. Among famous personalities attached to Brno there were, for instance, the composer Leoš Janáček, the scientist Johan Gregor Mendel, the inventor of water turbine Kaplan, architects Loos and Fuchs, the tennis player Jana Novotná and many others.

Brno is also the seat of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic and the site of many universities and colleges. The most significant guest of our hotel was the British Queen Elizabeth II during her visit in 1996, when the Hotel International was selected as the main service supplier.
