History
The hotel occupies the historic 'Spiegel House' (Spiegel Ház) in Budapest's Buda Castle District, at Országház utca 17. The site's history reaches back to 1464, when a coopers' and turners' guild operated here; after the 1686 siege of the castle, Bernát Spiegel bought the ruined building in 1701 and had a small single-storey baroque house built, whose basket-arched gate still bears the baking guild's insignia. Beneath the building lies a two-storey rock-cut cellar, said to be the largest continuous cellar in the Castle. In 1964 the property became a popular restaurant known as the 'Régi Országház.'
The former Spiegel Ház, now under Hungarian-American ownership, reopened as the Maison Bistro & Hotel in January 2017, with 17 individually designed rooms in the main building plus a set of 'Petite Maison' rooms nearby (about 25 keys in total), a bistro, wine cellar, street terrace and inner garden. The property joined Accor's Handwritten Collection as Hotel Maison Budapest.
