Art'Otel Budapest by Park Plaza

Frommer's Review

Opened in 2000 by a German chain, this is the first Art'Otel outside of Germany. The premise behind the concept is that each hotel spotlights the work of a single artist. In this case, the artist is Donald Sultan. There are more than 600 of his works in the hotel and he designed everything from the furniture and the carpets to the silverware. The modern side of the hotel is a seven-story building facing the Danube, while the rear comprises of four two-story baroque town houses, which now serve as rooms, suites, and the Chelsea Restaurant. There are conference facilities more stylish than the average, a small fitness room with a sauna, and a lobby bar and cafe with a courtyard garden that is one of the highlights of the hotel. Rooms are minimalist and comfortable, all with original Sultan works -- even in the bathrooms. Rooms on the top three floors of the new building facing the Danube command the best views, while rooms in the old houses have higher ceilings, some original fittings and features, but no view. Three floors are smoke-free.
