History

In 1891, the architect Rimanóczy Kálmán Sr. from Nagyvárad built a modern hotel with a tub and steam bath on the banks of the Körös River in neo-Baroque style. He purchased the neighboring plot of land in 1893, where the Hungarian King Café operated. After its lease expired in 1900, he had it demolished and replaced it with a two-storey hotel building, on the ground floor of which the Royal Café was opened. Rimanóczy Kálmán Sr. bequeathed the hotel to the town on the condition that it should always bear his name and that the proceeds should be used to support the poor of the town. In 1989 the wing incorporating the steam bath was completely transformed for a Romanian bank.
