History

A tavern addressed to "The swan" stood on its site already in the 13th century. The restaurant addressed to "The three green trees" opened in the building in 1760. In 1838 Johann Lőwy, the director of the horse-drawn tram connecting Pozsony to Nagyszombat, purchased the building. The terminal of the railway was in the neighborhood on the Coronation square. Between 1844 and 1846 the one-story building became a three-story hotel with new Classicist appearance and was renamed to "To the green tree".

In 1905 the first cinema in the town was opened in the building with the name Elektrobioscop.

In 1913 two other neighboring buildings were integrated into the hotel and they got a new uniform facade. One of them was its former rival, the Savoy Hotel. The two united hotels got the name Carlton Hotel. It was managed by Palugyay Károly and his wife, Antónia. The building was modified to its current form between 1925 and 1929.

Kossuth Lajos, the political leader of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence between 1848 and 1849, stayed in The Green Tree Hotel in March 1848. On March 17, 1848 he made a speech to the crowd from the already demolished balcony of the hotel and announced that Emperor Ferdinand V entrusted Batthyány Lajos with setting up the first Hungarian government the previous day.
