History

In the Middle Ages the tavern addressed to the Wild Man stood on its site. The most notable guests stayed in the tavern during the country assemblies of Hungary and during coronations. Later the Hungarian mathematician, engineer and cartographer Mikoviny Sámuel (1698 1750) lived in the building.

The palace was built for the Baron Motesiczky family in 1840 in Classicist style. On its first floor the Casino of Pozsony, a gathering place for the Hungarian aristocracy, was located.

Between 2008 and 2010 a celebrated Czech architect marred the building by adding extra floors to its top and turned it into a luxury hotel.
