Hotel Moments Budapest, inaugurated in March 2016 is situated at the lower end of the boutique-lined Andrássy út (a World Heritage site). The hotel sits advantageously with St Stephen’s Basilica and the Opera House, both a short stroll away
The building dates back to 1880 and real pride has been taken in the renovation of this former palace. Antiquated frescoes in the glass-topped atrium lobby have been loyal to the character of that epoch, taking many months to paint. Designed by architect Mr Adolf Feszty, a famous Hungarian artist, the hotel boasts of 99 contemporary rooms, a wellness area, a restaurant and even a complimentary tea bar - the perfect mix of modern amenities blended with art-deco history.
Juxtaposed perfectly against the hotel’s 19th century features are well-contemplated present day design, including some delightful oddities like the down lights made from chests of drawers in the breakfast area. The unique atmosphere of the lobby has been laid out like a personal drawing room where guests can unwind and relax. Reposing under the amazingly high glass ceiling and old arches, the lobby is brightly peppered with informal furniture that you can sink into after a long day of sightseeing.
