Gresham Palace

Gresham Palace

Gresham Palace (also translated as Glessam Palace) is located in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, and is an outstanding representative of Art Nouveau architecture in Central Europe. It was built around 1900 as a private estate of the Gresham family and is now owned by an Irish company, Quinlan Private, with operations managed by Four Seasons Hotels, and is regarded as one of the most beautiful hotels in Budapest.

The site of Gresham Palace was originally a neoclassical royal palace built in 1827. In 1880, it was purchased by the London-based Gresham Life Assurance Society, which intended to establish its overseas base there. They commissioned local architects to design a new structure and style, and construction began in 1904, finally completed in 1906. During World War II, Soviet soldiers occupied Gresham Palace and lived there. After the war, the palace gradually fell into obscurity and disrepair. In 2001, Four Seasons Hotels purchased the Gresham Palace from the Budapest government, renovated and decorated it extensively, turning it into a luxurious high-end hotel. Gresham Palace regained public recognition and became one of the must-see attractions when visiting Budapest.
