Overview
Meaning 'Golden Bull,' this hotel was rebuilt in its current Art Nouveau style in 1915, becoming one of Debrecen's defining landmarks. Its ornate facade and delicate ceramic tile decoration stand out, and it's known for having hosted many notable visitors to Debrecen over the decades. Still a working hotel today, even a walk through the lobby offers a taste of early 20th-century Hungarian architectural style. Lobby free to view. In the heart of Piac Street.
Travel Tips
The best facade photos are from the square across the street. Enjoy a coffee break in the lobby cafe.
