"After a meticulous five-year restoration, this Belle Époque–era landmark now houses 130 luxury rooms while preserving its UNESCO World Heritage architectural heritage; interiors by Maria Vafiadis of MKV Design celebrate Hungarian culture with guestroom prints by local artists and handcrafted headboards by national artisans. The property reimagines one of Eastern Europe’s historic coffee houses as Matild Café & Cabaret with menus curated by Wolfgang Puck, and it occupies a waterfront location with views of the Danube and easy walking access to the Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle, and St. Stephen’s Basilica." - Paul Rubio
