Andrássy Élményközpont
In Hungary, Andrássy Élményközpont occupies a grand building where Neo-Renaissance and Art Nouveau details surround digital experiences. You see a soaring glass atrium, marble columns, gilded stairs, and historic halls.
Built in 1882 as a casino, the building featured arched halls, columns, and a famous ballroom. At the beginning of the twentieth century, it became Hungary’s first modern department store. Parisian elegance shaped its five-storey hall, where glass, gold, and marble welcomed shoppers. Lotz Hall preserves elaborate frescoes and recalls the building’s role as a setting for gatherings.
The rooms later served as a restaurant, book warehouse, fashion hall, and bookstore. Since 2018, digital art, interactive exhibitions, and creative installations have filled the airy interiors. The preserved luminous atrium connects playful new worlds with the building’s older materials. Coloured glass and marble remain visible among the changing installations.
