Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s largest premium hotel brands, has launched Crowne Plaza Budapest - its first hotel in Hungary. Located in the heart of the Hungarian capital, the hotel is adjacent to the Nyugati train station and is in a prime position for locals and those travelling to Budapest for business, leisure or a combination of the two. All 230 rooms and suites at Crowne Plaza Budapest have a distinctive modern design and layout to help encourage productivity, restoration, and to inspire guests. Guests will enjoy a noticeable sense of space with a layout that includes a desk area for work, a sofa for relaxation and a comfortable bed with high-quality bedding to promote a good night’s sleep.
Guests can also take full advantage of the hotel’s Plaza Workspace, a flexible and agile space offering visitors and guests the opportunity to collaborate, meet colleagues, or work solo. The combination of flexible working and relaxation spaces, with food and drink options, enable guests to move seamlessly between work and downtime. Crowne Plaza Budapest also has an additional 13 meeting rooms and event spaces available to hire, and a Club Lounge with exclusive views from the private terrace of the wonders of both Buda and Pest. With IHG’s Meet with Confidence programme, guests have the flexibility to book future meetings and events with zero cancellation fees at participating hotels. Whatever the business need, a dedicated Crowne Plaza Meeting Director will ensure every event is a success.
Maurice Janssen, General Manager, Crowne Plaza Budapest, commented: “During 2020, we had time to reflect on the things that we take for granted and what has been missed through the lack of travel: the importance of human connection. There has been a distinctive shift in people’s mindset when it comes to business travel. No longer do hotel guests need to feel isolated in their rooms or confined to a business centre to feel productive, and no longer do locals need to be hesitant to walk into a hotel lobby to have a coffee and do some emails for fear of being asked for their room number – the spaces within our hotel are open to all, and we are very much looking forward to hosting our future guests and locals alike.”
The onsite restaurant, Axis Cafe and Lounge, serves a delicious breakfast until early afternoon, alongside a range of a la carte dishes based on locally sourced, sustainable and healthy produce, helping guests refuel during their stay. Whether it's speciality coffee sourced from a Hungarian-born coffee connoisseur Laszlo Banyai living in Costa Rica or cakes prepared by the award-winning Hungarian chain of confectionaries, Hiszteria, everything about the Axis Café and Lounge is aimed at introducing both international visitors and locals to the growing success of Hungarian gastronomy. In early 2022, the hotel will open a new rooftop restaurant called Cult, with a large terrace and panoramic views of the city.
