The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company has opened a 200-room hotel in the Hungarian capital Budapest, according to the TTG Media website.
The hotel is owned by the Al Habtoor Group, based in the United Arab Emirates, and was previously a Le Meridien-managed hotel but will now operate under the Ritz-Carlton flag following a significant refurbishment.
The hotel is in a protected historic building, built in 1914 as the headquarters for an Italian insurance company, and many of the period features have been retained such as elegant statues on the exterior walls and the stunning stained-glass cupola at the heart of the building.
Beneath this, The Kupola Lounge restaurant has been created, offering farmer’s market breakfast or lunch.
The hotel also has a street-side casual restaurant, Deak Street Kitchen, by British firm B3 Designers, complete with ice-cream cart and an outside terrace on Fashion Street.
Located on Elizabeth Square, with views over St Stephens Basilica, the hotel also has a bar with street entrance to attract the local market.
Of the 200 rooms, 30 are suites and the hotel also has a Ritz-Carlton Club Level offering on the top levels – 8th and 9th floors – and a spa and fitness centre with indoor pool and three treatment rooms, will follow soon.
Ritz-Carlton Budapest joins sister European properties such as Abama in Tenerife, Hotel Arts in Barcelona and Ritz-Carlton Vienna, as well as the group’s concept hotel in Wolfsburg within the famed Autostadt and home to a three-Michelin-starred restaurant.
The group is also working on a property in Geneva, Hotel De la Paix, likely to be completed next year.
Also coming soon are hotels in Langkawi in Malaysia, Los Cabos in Mexico, Koh Samui in Thailand, Bermuda, and Turks and Caicos Islands, TTG Media can report.
