History

In 1785, Count Teleki Sámuel of Szék had a Baroque palace built on this site. In 1833, the owner, Rhédey Ádám, leased the upstairs rooms to the newly established Bihar County National Casino. The casino operated here until 1888, when it moved to a new building. In 1909, the entire palace was acquired by Weiszlovits Lajos. His sons Emil and Gyula converted the ground floor into shops and opened a hotel upstairs. At that time the facade was rebuilt in neo-Baroque style. The Park Hotel opened in March 1915.
