Is the St. George a “residence” or a “hotel”?
We are proud of the one-time edifice bearing the name “Fortuna” given by the City Council in the year 1785. We have been operating as one of the most attractive and renowned hospitality and entertainment destinations in Buda since 1868. Therefore, we pay homage to our distinguished history by using the designation “Residence” instead of “Hotel.”
Why was the "Fortuna" Inn renamed "St George"?
The Monument Conservation Agency recommended using St. George instead of Fortuna as the name is already in use by other entities in the very same street.

What is the history of this building?
The contemporary building of the St. George Hotel & Residence features a complete reconstruction of a Baroque corner house built on medieval foundations. While preserving its original architectural heritage, it meets present–day quality standards with its luxurious refurbishments. The original Fortuna Inn in fact comprised three medieval homes. These features endow our contemporary building with an exquisite and unique atmosphere.
The reconstruction work by the present owner began in 2006 and was completed by the year 2007. (See
