Welcome: This hotel is green and has a glass atrium, perhaps inspiring the name "smaragd" which means emerald. It's a Best Western hotel that strives for four-star level service at three star prices.

Location: The location is near the airport, making it ideal for groups, and business travellers, who need to settle in quickly and prepare for meetings in town or further excursions. Getting to town is possible via public transportation, but the quiet green setting makes it well suited for those who need to get work done.

Rooms: There are 28 rooms in Smaragd, each one comfortable furnished and equipped with sat TV, telephone, minibar and of course private facilities.

Restaurants: Buffet breakfast is served at the hotel restaurant, which is also visited by locals, thanks to good quality food and pleasant atmosphere. There is a winter garden and a snack bar.

Services: Pets are welcome, for an additional fee, all major credit cards accepted. A meeting room can accommodate up to 30 people, and a business surcharge is available which covers free Internet access, free minibar, a discount on airport shuttles and a discount on use of the conference room.
