Geschiedenins:
Formerly known as Adria Palace built between 1914 and 1918 to host the
Italian Adria Insurance Company, this pre-modern office and Apartment Building
was designed in 1913. Due to its fine elegance, classical nobility and ideal
location, this stone covered building not only represented an outstanding
architectural quality, but has also been declared a historic monument. Some of
the architectural characteristics are wrought iron grilled Balconies in front of
the first Floor, and arched Windows with French Balconies on the upper Floors.
The smoothness of the stone covered facade is contrasted with the perle-form
ornament of the window frames and the sculptured cylindrical form on the corner
sides of the Building.
The Adria Palace was badly damaged by a bomb during World War II and was partly
burned down. Reconstruction took place between 1949-50. The Apartments and the
Shops came to an end when the headquarter of the Budapest Police moved in and
stayed in the Building until 1997. Various proposals were then made to upgrade
the Building to become either a Luxurious Hotel, Deluxe Apartment or a Shopping
Center, within the original structure that was not authorized to be transformed.
In 1998 the 2080 m² built in surface was bought by the Duna Plaza group to
become Le Meridien Budapest 5 Star Hotel opened in October 2000.
