The St. Stephen Room was built around the turning of the previous century by the plans of Lajos Hauszmann, who was a famous Hungarian architect. The room was constructed with the help of great Hungarians like Vilmos Zsolnay and Endre Thék. During the world fair of 1900 in Paris the room won several awards.

From April 2019, the room is being renovated from the dushes of World War II when it was completely destroyed. The aim of the renovation is to give back the full glory and prestige the room used to have.
