Palace Hotel, Lillafüred, hotel in Miskolc-Lillafüred, Hungary
Palace Hotel, Lillafüred is a hotel located beside Lake Hámori in a valley surrounded by three mountains in Hungary. Built between 1925 and 1929 by architect Kálmán Lux, the four-story building features a 46-meter-tall tower and neo-Renaissance architecture with decorative details and classical shapes. The hotel sits 300 meters above sea level and offers comfortable rooms designed to complement the building's historic character.
The hotel was founded in 1925 when Count András Bethlen had developed the area in the 1890s as a place for relaxation and health. The region was already popular in the 1800s with visitors seeking walks and nature rest, and the hotel's construction significantly strengthened Lillafüred as a holiday destination for the wealthy classes.
The hotel sits in a quiet valley with fresh mountain air and good access for walks and nature exploration. The location is reachable by the historic narrow gauge railway from Miskolc, which is considered one of the country's most scenic rail routes and offers views of the surrounding landscape.
The hotel sits next to a lake with one of the region's most impressive waterfalls, the Szinva falls, where water flows over rock formations into the lake. Nearby stands the Ottó Hermann Memorial House, which served as the holiday home of a noted naturalist from 1898 to 1903 and offers insight into that era.
