Emil Jellinek - Jellinek's Properties

Jellinek's Properties

In the Mercedes ' global boom in 1900, Jellinek purchased several properties including:

• Mercedes exhibition room in the Champs-Élysées, Paris.
• Grand hotels: Royal and Scribe in Nice and the Astoria, in Paris.

His most important properties were:

• The Villa Mercedes in Nice. No. 57, Promenade des Anglais.
• The Villa Mercedes II in Nice. No. 54, Promenade des Anglais. Bought in 1902.
• Villa Jellinek-Mercedes, Wienerstrasse 39-45, in Baden (next to the original vineyard house). Purchasing it as a building plot in 1891, Jellinek built a large mansion, adding to it progressively from 1909 until it had 50 rooms, 8 bathrooms and 23 toilets. In 1945 the Russian Army destroyed all but the garage and two rooms. Afterwards, the land was divided and sold and is now occupied by a gas station and a smaller building built in 1900.
• Chauteau Robert. An immense house located between Toulon and Nice. Officially it was Jellinek's private residence, though he spent most of the time in the Villa Mercedes of Nice.
