Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas announces the addition of the Anantara New York Palace Budapest hotel to its portfolio, a first in Hungary which marks the continuation of the brand’s European expansion. Located in the heart of Budapest, one of Europe’s most unique and fascinating capitals, this opulent property is an architectural ode to the Belle Époque period, exuding old world glamor mixed with contemporary luxury.
Since its construction in 1894, the lavish building has served as a gathering place for Hungarian intellectuals and can be found on the sophisticated Erzsébet Krt Boulevard on the east bank of the Danube. Designed by the famous Hungarian architect Alajos Hauszmann, the establishment reflects influences from the Italian Renaissance, Baroque, Gothic and Art Nouveau.
Just 20 minutes from Budapest International Airport, the Anantara New York Palace offers 185 rooms and suites, decorated with works of art and antiques dating back centuries. The two 135 m² Presidential Suites are enhanced with handcrafted Murano glass chandeliers, personalized furnishings, luxurious marble bathrooms and typical Italian design elements.
Currently in the process of transitioning to the Anantara brand, the Anantara New York Palace will have a signature suite bringing together all of the brand’s features in 2022. The first stage of the renovation will be completed in spring 2022 and will reveal a new glamorous lobby, elegant rooms and the addition of the White Salon, a prestigious new restaurant serving typical Hungarian cuisine.
The hotel offers four different dining options: The New York Café, which, with its frescoed ceilings and Venetian glass chandeliers, is the beating heart of the property and reflects the passion and flair of Chef Andras Wolf. The Poet Bar, an intimate setting for after-dinner aperitifs. The Deep Water Breakfast Room, for an exceptional start to the morning, and finally the Atrium, a dynamic meeting place with exceptional cocktails.
Anantara New York Palace offers the perfect balance between a bustling business center and a luxurious experience of the city. The extensive meeting and event facilities cater for all types of social and entrepreneurial functions, with an elegant ballroom seating up to 550 guests, chic little venues bathed in natural light, adorned with baroque details, and centers of elegant lectures designed by Iosa Ghini.
The Anantara spa will offer a real break of rest and pleasure with four treatment rooms and relaxation facilities. When it opens in 2022, treatments will draw inspiration from the various healing philosophies of Anantara’s Thai roots, with elements inspired by Budapest’s spa heritage.
Thoughtful experiences will immerse guests in the history of the region with vintage VW Samba motorhome tours of the city and surrounding countryside, as well as romantic Danube cruises.
We are delighted to announce the acquisition of our first property in Hungary, the Anantara New York Palace is a gem boasting unique architecture, rich history and heritage. This majestic hotel is a strategic step in Anantara’s continued growth in Europe and represents a great addition to the brand’s portfolio.
