The Korona Hotel is located in the center of Makó, in Széchenyi Square. It is the most beautiful eclectic building in the city. On the site where an important market took place in Makó, where major national roads met, an inn was built at the end of the 18th century to serve guests. The Korona Hotel was built in four different stages, between 1855 and 1967.
The building, which initially functioned as an inn and later as a hotel, was constructed between 1854 and 1929, constantly changing and adapting to the city of Makó. It became an important center for intellectual life, often hosting debates, conferences, and musical events.
Korona played a significant role in the cultural history of the city. Tömörkény István lived here between 1877 and 1880, Mihály Fátyol, the famous Roma violinist, played music here and Diósszilágyi Sámuel and Görbe Sámuel were frequent guests. Additionally, the March Front party was founded here in 1937, and literary evenings held at the Korona Hotel were attended by Illyés Gyula, Veres Péter, Féja Géza, and Erdei Ferenc.
Today, the building houses the Korona Business and Service Center, which hosts cultural events, concerts, conferences, balls, and even weddings.
