The block next to V\u00f6r\u00f6smarty Square in Budapest, which has now grown together as the Dorothea Hotel, bears traces of very different architectural and cultural eras. It combines a historic environment with contemporary spaces to create a top-class hotel with 216 luxury rooms and suites. It also houses elite apartments that are still in the process of being developed. With the redevelopment project, the block has been renovated on 7 levels, covering 35 000 square metres. It is a demanding achievement in terms of services and their extreme visual refinement, but at the same time a complex one, involving the protection of the built heritage and the conservation of historic monuments. Guests enter the hotel through an antique Neo-Renaissance-style portico: under a ceiling decorated with original stone rosettes, the walls are graced with the portrait-like paintings of the photographer and fashion photographer Zolt\u00e1n Tombor. Moving on from the former courtyard, the reception area appears under a monumental drop-shaped chandelier. Behind it, on the wall, there is a huge stone relief “carved” with high-tech technology. On the level above the grand mural, the reception opens up into an airy courtyard surrounded by three buildings and covered by a light glass roof. This oasis is the hotel’s breakfast room, one of its restaurants and a bar. The new hotel block spans two levels, embracing the casino on Vigad\u00f3 Street, which is being removed from the present development and on which the courtyard has been built. On the other side, the reception and the other restored cast-iron column, red-brick main staircase connecting the floors are wedged in. The exterior is characterised by a gesture that preserves the original state. The compositional surfaces that connect the covered courtyard facades of the building interiors: the glass facades and their louvres. Behind them, a large part of the rooms are located. The Presidential Suite on the top floor is a highlight, with a decor that is over the top in style and reminiscent of Japanese design patterns.<\/p>\n
