Palais Saxlehner

The Saxlehner Palace is a listed building at the southeastern end of Andrássy út in Budapest's Terézváros district. Built between 1884 and 1886, the house is designed in the eclectic style and originally contained the residence of the industrialist András Saxlehner as well as rental apartments. Particularly noteworthy is the elaborate design of the interior rooms, to which prominent Hungarian artists such as Károly Lotz, with his frescoes, contributed. After the property was sold in 1938, the building was used by the Hungarian postal service from 1972 and housed a postal museum until 2012. Today the restored palace is a hotel that gives visitors a glimpse of the historic architecture and the rich cultural past of the site.
