UNESCO World Heritage site in Budapest converted into a luxurious hotel

The Matild Palace, a famous UNESCO World Heritage site in Budapest, has been converted into a luxurious hotel. The palace was commissioned back in 1902 by Maria Klotild, the ArchDuchess of Hungo-Austria Empire. It took nearly five years to renovate the palace and turn it into a hotel.

The palace, noted for its splendid architecture, is famous for organising grand parties. But now it will be a part of Marriott's Luxury Collection. It was the famous interior designer Maria Vafiadis and local architects Péter Dajka and Puhl Antal who transformed the palace into a beautiful hotel.
Philipp Weghmann, vice president and global brand leader of The Luxury Collection, said, "The property allows our guests to realize the fantasy of living within a royal palace, elevated with modern amenities and impeccable service, and we look forward to welcoming them as they discover this timeless and inspiring city."

Prime highlights
The imposing palace has now transformed to become a luxury hotel boasting of 130 beautiful rooms. The 111 rooms and 19 suites here are done in beautiful shades and decorated with soaring chandeliers. All these rooms and suites offer amazing views of the city.

Most of the palace’s features have been retained to give the hotel a rustic room. So you’ll still find crystal lamps, soaring ceilings, and art nouveau detailing.

The hotel features all the modern facilities and every room ceilings at least 13 feet high. Another prime feature of the hotel is the spa-style bathroom inspired by famous thermal baths of Hungary.
