What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
The enchantment of Dorothea begins at the entrance, where the grand colonnaded atrium is adorned with evocative female portraits…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in Lipótváros right off Vörösmarty Square, the hotel places the Danube promenade and the Chain Bridge just steps away.
The rooms
Heritage rooms feature four-poster canopy beds and dark herringbone floors, while contemporary spaces offer floor-to-ceiling glass and custom Hungarian embroidery.
The pool and saunas
Bring a swimsuit.
Dark green marble lines the 15-meter heated indoor pool, set beside Finnish saunas and a 24-hour gym.
The spa
Three subterranean treatment rooms deliver native poppy seed scrubs and therapies made with local Hungarian herbs.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Pavilon serves dinner inside a glass-roofed courtyard filled with trees, and Anton Bar pours evening cocktails.
How it began
The hotel unifies three architectural eras, connecting an 1873 Neo-Renaissance bank, a 1913 Art Nouveau headquarters, and a 1937 modernist building.
