What To Expect

Anker Palace in Budapest is a striking example of early 20th-century eclectic architecture, standing just off Deák Ferenc Square. Built in 1908 for the Austrian insurance company Anker, the building blends Neoclassical and Art Nouveau elements—with colossal statues, ornate balconies, and a dramatic façade that seems to pose for a photo at every hour. Once home to intellectual salons and political circles, including the legendary Galileo Circle, it’s now mostly apartments and offices. A grand old dame of the city, weathered but still watching.

Klotild Palaces

The Klotild Palaces are twin architectural jewels guarding the entrance to Váci Street in Budapest, like sentinels of a vanished imperial age. Built between 1899 and 1902 for Archduchess Maria Klotild, their Neo-Baroque facades, crowned with ornate towers, once marked the beginning of the “royal route” to Buda. Though nearly identical, one now houses the Matild Palace hotel, blending old-world splendor with modern luxury. Standing beneath them, you feel Budapest’s layered grandeur — where Habsburg ambition still echoes in stone and spire.
