Worldhotels Expands Portfolio in Budapest
MAY 7, 2010 - One of the leading groups of independent hotels, WORLDHOTELS, is proud to have added three additional properties of the Mellow Mood Group in Hungary to its portfolio in Budapest. In 2008, the two companies signed a contract for the new Buddha-Bar Hotel Budapest Klotild Palace, which is scheduled to open in 2011. With the further additions, WORLDHOTELS will have a total of six hotels in Budapest, making it the largest international player in the city.
The recently-opened Expo Congress Hotel directly opposite the Hungexpo Budapest Fair Centre, is the first hotel of the Mellow Mood Group that was integrated into the WORLDHOTELS portfolio in the Hungarian Capital.
WORLDHOTELS also welcomes the Alta Moda Fashion Hotel, scheduled to open in May, and tipped to be one of Budapest's most elegant properties. Offering 114 fashionable rooms in a fully renovated neo-renaissance building dating back to 1847, the hotel will feature an impressive wellness zone equipped with a fitness suite, Jacuzzi, sauna, spa treatment areas and massage rooms.
La Prima Fashion Hotel Budapest will open in the fourth quarter of 2010 and will perfectly complement the WORLDHOTELS portfolio with 80 beautifully appointed bedrooms, a chic lobby bar, fully equipped fitness suite and modern meeting and conference facilities. The property will be ideally situated within walking distance of Budapest's famous shopping street, Váci utca.
The luxurious Buddha-Bar Hotel Budapest Klotild Palace will be the much anticipated second property of the world-renowned Buddha-Bar brand in Europe when it opens in early 2011. The hotel of the WORLDHOTELS Deluxe Collection will be situated in the historic 100-year-old Klotild Palace at the foot of the Erzsebet Bridge and right at Váci utca, the famous shopping street of Budapest. Enhanced with four beautifully renovated façades from 1900, the hotel will feature 102 luxurious rooms decorated in contemporary-modern Asian-Colonial interior designs faithful to the famous Buddha-Bar concept.
