Anantara New York Palace Budapest (Budapest, Hungary) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"It’s been well over a century since Budapest’s New York Café first opened its doors in 1894 — the day renowned Hungarian writer Ferenc Molnár allegedly seized the keys and tossed them into the Danube, ensuring the café would never close. Situated on the ground floor of an ornate palace just off the Grand Boulevard, the beautifully restored café remains the crown jewel of the Anantara New York Palace Budapest. With its original frescoes, Venetian chandeliers, and gilded details, the space exudes old-world charm. Soaring ceilings, sixteen grand windows, and twisting columns adorned with golden stucco make it a true architectural masterpiece. Among whimsical sculptures of devilish fauns and "El Asmodai"—an ancient symbol of coffee and meditation—the café's signature 24-carat gold New York cappuccino awaits to be savored." - Tablet Hotels
