Discover A Grand Budapest Hotel Imbued With Modern Ambience
2024 Best of Year Winner for Large Hotel Transformation
The 216-key Dorothea Hotel in Budapest, Hungary, spans three adjacent buildings of varying dates and styles—1873 Neo-Renaissance, 1913 Art Nouveau, and 1937 Modernist. The project team restored the historic facades and also created a unified 355,000-square-foot interior that harmoniously blends heritage and modern elements, including a new glass-enclosed penthouse floor. The public spaces in the oldest building exemplify Lissoni Casal Ribeiro’s approach, preserving the grandeur of the volumes while imbuing them with a distinctly 21st-century and, at times, ironic ambience. This is achieved through witty touches like juxtaposing the entry’s monumental Doric columns with a series of contemporary photographic portraits by Zoltán Tombor that playfully reinterpret traditional styles and customs.
