Hotels

This selection provides an overview of nearly a century and a half in the history of entertaining hotel guests in Budapest. From the middle of the nineteenth century, the hotel building industry was given a boost with the unification of Budapest and then during the millenary celebrations when one hotel opened after the other. After the Great War came a relatively quick racovery. then came World War II, which was followed by period of almost twenty years with no new hotel built in Budapest. However, the new boom that began with the construction work of the iighties is still in full swing. Where tha fast-paced investment activity resulting in ever broadening services will take the industry is an issue to be decided in the years lying ahead of us. As is the question whether the legendary golden age of catering will return to Budapest one day.
