Art Nouveau was a movement in Europe in architecture and in art which began in the 1880's. This form of decoration consisted chiefly of flowing ornaments based on plant shapes, peacocks, sensual whiplash curves that in Britain the graphic artist Aubrey Beadsley first used in his illustrations commisioned by Oskar Wilde for his play Salome. You can see the curving line infront of the marble stairs imbedded in the mosaic floor.

Gresham Palace was built in 1906 by the English Gresham Life Insurance Company, as a way to invest in a solid source of rental income during a time in which it was prohibited to invest in stocks. The palace was named after the 16th-century English financier Sir Thomas Gresham, the founder of the Royal Exchange in London. In 1998, Gresco Investments Limited acquired the Palace and received approval from the Budapest Heritage Board to reconstruct it into a luxury hotel while retaining its original appearance of Art Nouveau architecture. Gresco raised $85 million for renovations and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts agreed to oversee the reconstruction and manage the new property. The hotel reopened in June 2004 and has restored its history and nostalgia. The hotel currently houses 179 guest rooms, including 17 suites. The doors and lift is made of mahogany wood.
