The Palace Hotel is one of the most visited and elevated sights of Llillafüred, which is a settlement 10 kilometers from Miskolc. Lillafüred is a breathtaking village and a pleasant holiday resort surrounded by the Bükk Mountains.
Count András Bethlen, minister of agriculture has discovered the place while hunting in 1892. In honor of a wealthy woman, Lilla Vay, he gave the name Lillafüred to his place of spectacular beauty.

The neo renaissance styled building was built between 1925 and 1929 next to Lake-Hámor, based on the legendary Lux Kálmán’s plans. The Palace Hotel has been inaugurated in 1930.Most of the guests came from an elite layer and organized a few celebrations in the Hotel, as well. During the Second World War, German and Russian soldiers lived there, and then from 1950 it became a SZOT-holiday resort. In 1993 the Hunguest Hotels auberge chain has bought the building and has refurbished it.
