Matild Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel
Built in 1902, Matild Palace was developed under the patronage of Her Imperial and Royal Highness Maria Klotild of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to serve as the social hub of the city. It is a Budapest landmark characterised by a “distinctive ambience representative of its Hungarian heritage”.
The palace is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site and is under monumental protection.

Over the past 5 years, the building has undergone a comprehensive 5-year transformation. Maria Vafiadis, world-renowned interior designer, and the MKV Design team restored the interiors, re-configured floors, and converted the building into a Luxury Collection Hotel.
Matild Palace offers an exceptional choice of 130 elegant guestrooms and suites and a spectacular view of the River Danube.
The rooms were inspired by Princess Marie Clotilde’s interests, lifestyle, and early 20th-century Budapest, thus, the palace’s interior design remained true to the building’s unique heritage.
The interior aesthetics of the palace blend hints of Baroque, Romanesque, and Art Nouveau, layered with the Hungarian heritage crafts of metalwork, embroidery, and tile-making, celebrating the rich heritage of the historic building, but also offering a completely new, modern destination for international and Hungarian guests.
