Nestled in the heart of Budapest’s iconic District V, the Dorothea Hotel, part of the Autograph Collection, weaves together the vibrant energies of a modern metropolis with timeless splendour.
The Dorothea Hotel pays homage to Archduchess Dorothea and Palatine Joseph, influential figures of the 19th century who shaped Budapest’s cultural and economic landscape. The hotel spans three historic buildings: the Weber building (1873), the Mahart building (1913), and the Munnich building (1937). Each structure tells a unique story, and their fusion creates a seamless blend of past and present.
Renowned Italian architect and designer Piero Lissoni curated the interiors. As you step inside, ornate ceilings and walls adorned with portraits by Hungarian artist Zoltán Tombor greet you. These playful artworks reinterpret local styles and customs with a modern twist. Guests are greeted by the magnificent long drop glass chandelier and the traditional blue Zsolnay tiles on the staircase and the Hungarian sujtás motif on hallway carpets evoke the city’s rich heritage.
With 216 Rooms and Suites: The hotel offers contemporary and heritage rooms. Soft beige tones, with pops of orange, beautifully contrasting with the dark wood flooring and peacock blue curtains. Alongside Tombor’s artwork guests will see Budapest’s progression in history, with photos representing the city’s urban developments initiated by Palatine Joseph in the 1800s.
Located in the oldest Weber building, heritage guestrooms are identified by the doors with portraits of women from the 1800s, sourced from the Hungarian National Gallery. Decorative cornicing frames neo-Renaissance windows, framing the soft furnishings with subtle floral embroidery inspired by local folk motifs.
In an elegant light grey tone, heritage guestrooms offer four-poster canopy beds, a green velvet sofa and black and white carpet juxtaposed with dark wood herringbone flooring. The crown jewel atop the hotel is the Presidential Suite, a serene retreat with timeless décor, featuring a master bedroom with a walk-in closet, ensuite bathroom, sauna, living room and dining area with a fully equipped kitchen.
The sense of grandeur is elevated by 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows and a generous wraparound terrace, offering breath taking views across the city skyline – complete with a jacuzzi and lounge seating.
