PHOTOS: world-famous Hungarian hotel, admired by foreign architects
The five-star Matild Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Budapest is considered a world-famous interior design artwork. Its interior solutions are preeminent, so it is not surprising that architects come from all corners of the world to visit the Hungarian hotel. It received both domestic and international prestigious awards.
“Matild Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Budapest redefines elegance in Hungary. As one of the most iconic buildings in Budapest, the hotel boasts a highly distinctive ambiance representative of its Hungarian heritage, which runs beautifully through its core and is unmistakable from the moment guests step foot through the front doors,”
writes the hotel’s Facebook page.
The Hungarian hotel opened its door in 2021, and since then, it has been recognised as a world-famous interior design artwork by many renowned foreign architects and has established a strong position in the market in a short time. Originally, it was built during the Belle Epoque era, in 1902. The palace was developed under the patronage of Maria Klotild of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to serve as the social hub of Budapest. The princess pictured the twin palaces to be standing proudly in the very heart of Budapest.
“Guests come from all over the world to the iconic Matilda Palace, and first impressions are very important. Our aim is for them to have lasting memories of their visit to Matilda Palace. We have strived to create something memorable in terms of interior design. It is a pleasure to have a series of awards to back this up,” said Director Selim Ölmez to Lakáskultúra.hu.

The entrance area is so glitzi you would never know what a great building it is for starters- you have a diamond and they put tinsel on it. The windows are so tinted it looks closed- it’s like someone wearing dark glasses and never get to see there eyes. The Parisi across is a remarkable job.
The city has done a great job with dead planters on both sides of streets- going on 5 years that I know of. I give them credit for keeping the trash out.
