History
The palace was built between 1907-1909 in the Hungarian Art Nouveau style designed by Komor Marcell and Jakab Dezső. The contractor was Sztarill Ferenc. The hotel opened on 1 November 1908. The construction was commissioned by two lawyers from Várad, Dr. Adorján Emil and Dr. Kurlander Endre.
On the ground floor there were shops, on the first floor there were the Great and Small Vigadó (dancing and concert halls) and a confectioner's shop, and on the third floor there were apartments.
The Eagle Inn stood on the site of the palace since 1714, and the first professional Hungarian theatre performance was held in its hall on 26 August 1798. This event was commemorated by a marble plaque, which was removed from the wall of the former Eagle Inn and placed on the balcony of the palace facing Kossuth Street, but it was lost during the renovation of the building in the 1980s and has not been found since. The text read: 'In memory of the first Hungarian word spoken from the stage in this building in this town, 26 August 1798 - 26 August 1898. The grateful community of Nagyvárad to the posterity at the initiation of the Szigligeti Theatre Company.
The stained glass window with the black eagle was made in Neumann's workshop in Nagyvárad.
