The obligation of keeping the façade in a historic environment was well interpreted by the owner, who preserved the whole house – in contrast to the practice of “facadism” (keeping the street façade only) used in other locations at the time. The plaster walls of the entrance rich in stuccos, together with the spectacular terrazzo floor give the basic atmosphere. By lowering the courtyard level, the architects created an atrium-like restaurant section, from which the inner façade of the former residential building with typical outside corridor (=gang) is revealed. These corridors became the balconies of the courtyard rooms. Rooms can be accessed from the interior hallways, which start from the new, modern staircase. The old staircase was demolished, only the one-storey section starting from the doorway was kept in its original form. Façade decorations and balconies with wrought iron railings were renovated or replaced in every detail. The way of covering the courtyard is airy and the solution especially witty, as the view towards the neighboring building is temporarily blocked: a series of stretch-banners are hanged between the hotel and the courtyard of the dilapidated house, on which portraits of world-famous Hungarians can be seen. Overall, the creation of the Hotel Parlament in an Eclectic house doomed to destruction is a successful implementation of an exemplary initiative.
