Marriott’s First Autograph Collection Hotel in Hungary

Dorothea Hotel, Budapest, Autograph Collection has 216 rooms and suites split into 2 design categories, contemporary and heritage. The hotel is across three historic buildings, including the old United Budapest Metropolitan Savings Bank, in Budapest’s District V neighborhood.

Contemporary rooms are decked out in dark wood flooring with peacock blue curtains. You’ll also find artwork by the Hungarian photographer Zoltán Tombor in each room. Heritage rooms offer four-poster beds and are recognizable by doors with portraits of women from the 19th century.

Amenities include 2 restaurants (with another 2 on the way helmed by a Michelin-starred chef), a spa with a swimming pool, a fitness room, 3 treatment rooms, and a sauna.

If you aren’t familiar, Autograph Collection is one of Marriott’s higher-end brands and falls under the Premium umbrella alongside brands like Le Meridien and Westin.
