There once existed a tunnel between the theatre and the hotel. It can be traced back to the basement area. It is told that the actors of the former National Theatre, who used the tunnel to come from the theatre to the Hotel’s restaurant or a discrete room to spend their evening meal with friends, acquaintances, or mistresses in secret.

According to legend, when Jancsi Rigo was in the hotel restaurant in 1896, he met the Princess of Belgian, Klara Ward. The woman fell in love with Jancsi, and immediately left her husband.
