My 3rd Trip with Husband Pieter to Hungary with stay at Párisi Udvar Hotel Budapest

On Monday, June 3, we both did fly on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines from Amsterdam to Budapest!
Back to our favorite country one more time...
Starting our Viking cruise PASSAGE TO EASTERN EUROPE from Budapest to Bucharest with a 2 night stay at this newly renovated GEM: Párisi Udvar Hotel Budapest (Hyatt).
Here husband Pieter stands in front of its door...
A special Arabic, Moorish and Gothic design.
An architectural marvel!
While having breakfast, lunch or dinner at the Párisi Passage Café & Brasserie one can indulge in its overhead beauty!
Inside, on our way to our room...
You bet we slept like roses under this down duvet on down pillows...
White lacquered room furniture...
The TV was even framed by white lacquer (center of photo)...
Marble bathroom...
The entire bathroom was done in pure luxury, complete with toilet/bidet.
Modern and convenient
Moving sensors built into the baseboard for lighting up during the night!
WHAT A GEM indeed!

Wish it could have lasted longer than those 2 nights...

From there we did tour Budapest the next morning by bus and on foot.

Thank you for your visit and comment!

    1. Dearest Ada,
      You bet that our 3rd stay was kind of overwhelming at so much architectural beauty.
      Both of us appreciate the effort by Hyatt to turn this splendid building into a hotel and letting people admire Hungary's great styles.

  3. Hello Mariette, The Párisi Udvar Hotel in Budapest really gave you and Pieter the royal treatment. It looks like a beautiful renovation. I have seen some buildings even in Cleveland magnificently renovated into hotels, but I feel bad for those structures in marginal neighborhoods--it takes real vision to find a plan for them, or the best solution, to recreate the entire area with many attractions so that a hotel will be welcomed after all.

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Yes we sure did receive the royal treatment at the Párisi Udvar Hotel in Budapest.
      One can only marvel at such end result and the perseverance of years of restoration with great results.
      Wish this could be achieved more often for splendid old buildings here in the USA but like you already mention, they often are in a too rural area for supporting the idea.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  5. The hotel is really beautiful! I love the exterior with all the details and the room looks so elegant! And I love the windows you can see inside the hotel in the 5th photo. I can understand why you wished it could last longer than 2 nights :-)

    1. Dearest Tamago,
      This was the BEST part of the entire Viking cruise! Can you imagine we should have stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Budapest and this only changed in the end... Great surprise and we cherish the memories.

  7. Wow, what a beautiful hotel. The bathroom looks the same as in the hotel where I stayed earlier this year, but the rest of this hotel is much more beautiful.

    You have many lovely travel memories, Mariette.

    1. Dearest Miyako,
      There is not too much European in this architectural style but more Arabic and Moorish.
      Yes, we have arrived at mid-summer in the northern hemisphere!

    1. Beste Marian,
      Ja, dit was een dróóm!
      Nee, wij zouden in het Hilton logeren en dit is pas op het einde door Viking veranderd maar het was allemaal inbegrepen in de Passage to Eastern Europe cruise met nog een nacht in Boekarest op het einde. Ook het afhalen en naar de airport brengen zat er bij in. Dus dat was wel goed geregeld allemaal.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

  15. Wonderful that they've restored this historic building. More of that should be done rather than constantly tearing down. A great place to start your adventure.

    1. Dearest Tammy,
      Yes, the end results after years of restoration and hard work were quite stunning and it makes one happy to see this scale of preservation.
      For us it was a great highlight, also for being back in Budapest once more. All other countries and places were new to us.
      Hugs,
