Suite 215 - Stephanie Crown Princess of Austria
“Grace is that quiet power that makes rooms brighter.” – inspired by Stephanie Crown Princess of Austria
Stéphanie was born in 1864 at Laeken Castle near Brussels, the second daughter of King Leopold II of Belgium. Her mother, Marie Henriette, came from the Hungarian line of the Habsburgs, and her grandfather Leopold I, to whom Suite 201 in this house is dedicated, was the first King of the Belgians. She was also connected to the House of Coburg through her sister Louise, who married Philipp of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a son of the house’s lord August (Suite 208).
In 1881 Stéphanie married Crown Prince Rudolf in Vienna and became Crown Princess of Austria-Hungary. She never quite felt at home in court life. She preferred to keep her distance and travelled widely instead, under changing pseudonyms, among them Countess Lacroma and Lady Bonchurch.
In 1900 she married the Hungarian Count Elemér Lónyay, a union founded on affection. The couple lived in Vienna until 1906 and then at Oroszvár Castle near Pressburg, today Rusovce in Slovakia. In 1917 Lónyay was raised to the rank of prince, and the Princess of Belgium and Crown Princess became Princess Lónyay. In 1935 her memoirs appeared under the title “I Was to Be Empress”, a book that sold well and was translated into several languages.
Suite 215 extends over two levels. The living area below is in white and gold, with the sleeping area above on the gallery. From the balcony the view opens onto the city in which Stéphanie lived as Crown Princess and which she still called home for several years after her second marriage.
