Designed by Alfréd Hajós and Lajos Villányi, this Secession-style building complex was built between 1913 and 1915. The hotel was extended in 1976.
In 1882 Imre Steindl, the architect of the Parliament, planned a two-storey hotel. This had to be replaced in 1913 due to the growing demands on it. In 1915 what is now the old wing was erected in its place following the plans of Alfréd Hajós and Lajos Villányi. The facade ornamentation is the work of Italian stone-carving craftsmen.
