Operated by the Austrian K & K hotel chain, this tasteful, elegant establishment opened in 1994 and expanded in 1998. A complete renovation was completed in September 2005, and the hotel is a few steps above most of the city's other four-star hotels. Directly across the street from the Opera House in central Pest, the hotel building blends nicely with the surrounding architecture. The interior design is now even pleasing, with an understated elegance. The hotel is on a quiet residential street, and the soundproof windows in the guest rooms keep out street noise. A tastefully decorated bar/cafe/restaurant echoes the Asian touches found throughout the hotel. The staff is uniformly friendly and helpful, even when inundated with groups. This hotel is not only within close proximity of the Opera House, but is also right near Budapest's theater district. Half of the rooms are now nonsmoking, but there are no wheelchair-accessible rooms.
