Description
Budapest as we know it today is mostly a 19th century town. An explosion of development and talent culminated in a golden age of prosperity and culture. I came upon this magnificent room by accident. About five years ago I wandered into this stunning secession style book shop on Andrassy Street. Going upstairs on the escalator I noticed this ornate room that had become a coffee shop restaurant. You have to see this room to believe it. The architect incorporated Florentine motifs with wood paneling an huge mirrors. Words cannot describe. I saw a photo of this room from the 1870's. It's just as it was. But the rest of the building had been modernized before the first World War. Budapest, Prague, and Vienna, were the three great cities of pre 1914 Austria-Hungary. A trip to any of these cities is time well spent.
