Imperial Royal Heritage

A Regal UNESCO World Heritage Landmark

Commanding the prestigious gateway to Elisabeth Bridge at the start of pedestrian Váci Street, Matild Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Budapest is an awe-inspiring Belle Époque treasure. Developed in 1902 under the direct patronage of Her Imperial and Royal Highness Maria Klotild of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the palace was envisioned by celebrated court architects Flóris Korb and Kálmán Giergl to serve as Budapest’s social centerpiece.

Following an exquisite award-winning five-year restoration, this UNESCO World Heritage icon blends imperial Habsburg aristocracy with modern visionary design. Featuring 130 grandly scaled rooms and suites with 4-meter ceilings, the palace is also Central Europe’s premier gastronomic landmark: home to Master Chef Wolfgang Puck’s European flagship Spago, the hidden rooftop cocktail library The Duchess overlooking Gellért Hill, and the restored 1901 Matild Café & Cabaret.
