The 4-star Danubius Hotel Astoria
in the heart of Budapest, built on the site of the medieval town
walls, is one of the most charming old-style hotels of Hungary’s
capital. As the slogan of the hotel goes, the Astoria offers ‘Tradition
and style...’ with its last turn-of-the-century atmosphere that
perfectly flatters the style and panache of your Royal Hungarian
Express journey.
Danubius Hotel Astoria
was opened in 1914.
Its name given by the owners and Mihály Gellér, the first General
Manager of the hotel, who formerly worked for the world-famous Waldorf
Astoria in New York, and was an acknowledged expert in hospitality
at that time.
Now the hotel has been restored to
Imperial glory, with modern comfort married to Empire-style interior
decoration, the marble cover and fancy carpets, the crystal chandeliers,
glittering mirrors and stained-glass windows, the marvellous works
of art invite the guests for a romantic journey back in time. Film
producers and directors often take the advantage of the excellent
facilities of the hotel, which provides a perfect location for film
shooting.
Because of the hotel’s excellent
services and ideal location in the heart of the historical city
centre, within walking distance from the administrative, business
and cultural districts and the famous shopping areas of Váci Street,
the hotel is very popular among foreigners and Hungarians alike.
After an exhausting day spent with sightseeing or shopping it is
good to sit back and relax, have a delicious dinner or a fine coffee
in Mirror Café & Restaurant evoking the ambiance of la belle
époque.
