This is how the renovation of Hilton Budapest is going

According to forbes.hu, Hilton Budapest was expanded with a ballroom and a conference hall in the third stage of the renovation that started in 2015. Moreover, huge luxury suits were created by tearing down some walls. The whole renovation process is expected to be finished next year.

The iconic hotel of the Danubius Hotels Group is being revamped from 10 billion forints (~EUR 32m), the latest stage costing 3.5 billion forints (~EUR 11 m) in itself. In the first part of the construction the lobby area and the panorama lift sunk in the rock of the Buda Hills were performed. Then, 2/3 of the already existing rooms – 229 out of the 322 – were renovated. Now, the ballroom and the conference hall are also done. The renovation of the 5 star Hilton started in 2015 and is expected to be finished in the April of 2018.

The renewed ballroom is 510 m² big, it can fit 600 people and it was equipped with everything that might be needed at an event. However, the marble wall decorations were left in their original condition, while the carved walls were repainted with a slightly darker colour. Several details and accessories, like the nine chandeliers of the ballroom were made by Hungarian industrial artists.

Besides the ballroom, three alliable conference halls (Endre, Béla, Levente), a separate conference hall (Gizella) and four boardrooms were renovated. The renovation works are being executed by the English Goddard & Littlefair interior decoration office, who are also responsible for keeping the old and new building parts unified.
