History

One of the most beautiful Hungarian Art Nouveau buildings in Partium. It was built in 1902 on the site of the old building of the court of justice, designed by Bálint Zoltán and Jámbor Lajos. Its model won second prize at the 1903 World Architecture Exhibition in Vienna.

In 1897, the idea of building a hotel and a concert hall in the main square of Szatmárnémeti was raised among the town officials. The plan's biggest supporter was the mayor, Hermán Mihály. In 1897, a tender was announced for the design of the new hotel, the most important criterion being that the building should have a Hungarian character. The construction of the new hotel started in 1901 on the site of the demolished old forensic building. It was privatised in 1995 and became the property of the employees. In 2007, it became the property of a Romanian businessman. In June 2018, it was acquired by a Hungarian state-owned company, Manevi Zrt. The Hungarian state wants to renovate it.
