Location – The Good and the Bad
Although the hotel is perfect for a romantic getaway in Budapest, the “too-central” location takes away a bit from the charm.
It certainly cannot compete with the views from Four Seasons Gresham Palace rooms, another fine 5 star hotel at the Pest side of the Danube, close to the Chain Bridge.
The central location, however has its advantage that almost every attraction in Budapest is within easy reach.
Trams 4-6 run along Grand Boulevard, while M2 (red metro) has a stop at Blaha Lujza tér.
Just entering the hotel you feel transported to an Italian renaissance palace from the noisy Grand Boulevard.
The arcaded gallery of the New York Cafe runs along the glass covered main hall that exudes an aerial feeling.
Great care was taken when selecting the materials for the interior decoration of the palace-hotel.
The highest quality of materials were used to express an old-world elegance yet create a home away from home.
The Italian designers implemented a daring, but playful design that is rare in any hotel.
White Italian marble from
- Carrara,
- Giallo Siena, and
- Botticino covers the floor.
The original lightning elements that were highlighted parts of the New York Palace’s design were recreated:
- Venetian chandeliers,
- sprialling fluorescent lights hidden in the wall panels,
Lush textiles like silk and velvet were also exported from Italy.
All in all the former New York Palace shines in its splendour again after more than 100 years of its construction.
