The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest has officially opened for business.
Located in the heart of the cultural and shopping district, the property is on the doorstep of Budapest’s historic sites and minutes from the Danube River.
“It is an absolute privilege to open the first Ritz-Carlton hotel in Hungary,” said Herve Humler, president and chief operations officer, The Ritz-Carlton. “The Ritz-Carlton service standards are globally recognised and we’re delighted to bring them to a new market.”
The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest, is housed within a protected historic building, located on Elizabeth Square, with views over St Stephens Basilica.
Constructed in 1914 as the headquarters for an Italian insurance company, the building has been transformed to include 170 elegantly appointed rooms and 30 suites.
Whilst many of the building’s original architectural details have been retained, including elegant statues on the exterior walls, the interiors offer guests a spacious and relaxed contemporary environment.
The Ritz-Carlton Club Level, situated on the 8th and 9th floors of the property, features a dedicated concierge, plus complimentary food and beverages throughout the day.
Introducing two new restaurants and a bar to the Budapest scene, the Deak Street Kitchen provides a relaxed and atmospheric environment. It serves a variety of Hungarian-inspired dishes, created using local seasonal ingredients, and freshly grilled meat & fish, alongside one of the city’s best selections of Hungarian wines and beers.
The Kupola Lounge, situated beneath the building’s stained glass cupula and grand crystal chandelier, is ideally placed for a leisurely farmer’s market breakfast or light lunch overlooking the hotel lobby.
Highlights include a 180-guest-capacity ballroom, situated on the lower ground floor, five flexible meeting rooms, and a spa and fitness centre.
