"Spanning three buildings, Dorothea Hotel, Budapest, Autograph Collection debuted in November 2023 at the heart of the city's downtown, just a few blocks from the Danube River. With 216 rooms, all impeccably furnished by the Milan-based Lissoni & Partners studio and featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, soaking bathtubs, and private balconies, the property's interiors balance old and new." - Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova is a freelance writer with over a decade of editorial experience in Europe and the U.S. She covers luxury travel, art, architecture, and design.

"Opened in 2023, the hotel is the result of the union of three buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries, each with its own distinct architectural identity. Designed by Italian architect Piero Lissoni, it maintains a deep connection to local history and traditions, starting with its name — a tribute to Dorothea of Württemberg, wife of Archduke Palatine Joseph, governor of Hungary in the 19th century, and a beloved figure among the Hungarian people." - Tablet Hotels
"Housed across three restored historic buildings—including a neo‑renaissance former savings bank and an art‑nouveau shipping company headquarters in Budapest’s lively District V—this five‑star hotel blends aristocratic heritage with sleek contemporary design by Piero Lissoni. The opening gala, which featured an immersive ballet, live singers and uniformed staff serving elegant canapés, set a glamorous tone that continues to generate buzz among local hospitality figures. The lobby impresses with a long drop glass chandelier, a heritage staircase framed by an azure Zsolnay tile wall and curated photography by Zoltán Tombor throughout the public areas. Guestrooms come in contemporary and heritage designs with modern amenities and suites noted for expansive shower spaces, while the inner courtyard is the hotel’s leafy nucleus and home to Pavilon Restaurant & Bar, an airy farm‑to‑table spot led by Chef Carmine di Luggo that foregrounds Hungary’s agricultural produce. Ground‑floor Anton’s Bar & Deli serves artisanal coffee and pastries by day and becomes a lively cocktail bar and community hub by night. Spa highlights include the signature Archduchess treatment using endemic poppyseeds, featuring a foot ritual, body exfoliation, dry brushing, body wrap and facial massage. Other practical perks and facilities include complimentary Wi‑Fi, an indoor pool, fitness center and multiple dining options, making it a showpiece entry into Budapest’s hospitality scene."
