If you are curious about Hungary's first secret museum, it's worth turning around and going down the stairs. Here, you will not only learn about the history of the building constructed by Tivadar Mika, which now houses the hotel, but also about the fascinating pasts of properties within a 140-meter radius of the exhibition space. Our specialty museum is waiting to invite you for an engaging historical journey. - 140 sqm - 8 languages - voice effects - audio guides on guest mobile. In this same area, you would also find Europe's most famous nightclub, the Blue Cat; Hungary's first cinema, where Michael Curtiz, the director who won an Oscar for the film Casablanca, began his career; and you'll discover the connection between American film actors Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger and a tiny house on Kazinczy Street.

Interesting but only an hour max. Enjoyed the old films, and wall information. More past history would have been good to see.

A unique museum in the basement of the hotel: a compact history of the buildings in the immediate vicinity, which always makes surprising references to famous people. A very nice idea very well implemented. I really liked the visit.

Very small exhibition with just one room - not much to see. Thankfully it is next door to a very nice bar where you can have a fancy cocktail afterwards. The exhibition is cheap, so if you red to kill half an hour then perfect.
