The Hotel Dunapalota opened in 1913 as The Grand Hotel Ritz. It was one of the finest and most luxurious hotels in Budapest, boasting its own rooftop garden with a magnificent view of the Danube. The British owned part of the hotel shares. In 1935, the Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII, stayed at the hotel. Notable guests such as Rabindranath Tagore and Arnold Joseph Toynbee also stayed at The Dunapalota.
The building was destroyed during the Second World War.
