Buddha Bar Hotel Budapest Klotild Palace

Buddha-Bar, the atmosphereThe history of Buddha-Bar goes back to 1996, the year when Raymund Visan, who has Romanian ascendants, too, envisaged the the concept of Buddha-Bar restolounge in Paris. The feeling quickly spread to other facets of yuppie lifestyle, so the music of Claud Challe, that became the hallmark of the hotel chain, went on to be heard not only during meditation and sipping of alternative lassi. The Buddha-Bar CDs represent a peculiar style: they are the mixture of authentic motifs of different cultures (Arabic, Latin, Far-Eastern, etc.), world music and modern electronic music. The Visan vision has reached every corner of the world in the past 16 years and beach bars, Thai or Thai-looking massage salons that regard themselves relatively highly have a copy of one of the 13 compilation CDs. The 12 brands belonging to the George V. Entertainment group await guests at 13 different sites.

Buddha-Bar, the hotelBudapest abounds in examples of how harmony is reached between an historical building and a luxury hotel. New York Palota, Gresham,Royal, Palazzo Zichy, Bohem Art, BW Parlament, just to mention a few typical, well-executed investments that determine value. Every one of these aimed to utilize or re-dress the splendid locations of the past. Klotild Palota is different, though, as the end product is an atmospheric, special yet informal, cosmopolitan yet luxurious mixture that came into being as the century-old elegance of an historical building and contemporary Asian design met in harmony.

The Buddha-Bar concept is brought to Budapest by the ever improving Mellow Mood Hotels that has been in the industry for a long time. The hotel and the catering is planned to employ almost 150 people, Hungarians and foreigners alike. Guests will be welcome to the 102 rooms including the suites, 6 catering units including the latest installment of the world-famous Buddha-Bar restaurant chain and the bar on the uppermost level with its panoramic roof, and a spa on floor -1.

Why exactly Budapest? Sasha Golubovic, the general manager of the hotel, told us that a demand has appeared on the market for something new and special, an odd-one-out. The opening of the hotel and restaurant complex is awaited with great anticipation in Hungary and world-wide, as well.
We believe that it won’t be easy what with Budapest profit rates to meet the requirements of the strict franchise, employ the mentality of the West-European service and line up and provide long-term motivation for a well-trained staff. However, Mellow Mood Hotels argues that Hungary has a lot of young and good people in the field who have to be given the opportunity, and more and more of such people come home from abroad if they get an acceptable offer.Buddha-Bar, the restaurant and barThe Buddha-Bar restaurant promises unforgettable memories as the guests embark on a wondrous journey around the world exploring flavors of the mixtures of Pan-Asian cultures. The peculiar atmosphere of the restaurant is given by the unique Buddha-Bar music, and the essence of the place is provided by the 5-meter-high Buddha statue. At the end of the day it’s the Klotild Lounge to seek out for a perfect relaxation with its breathtaking view and the wide selection of drinks expected of Buddha-Bar. The five-star Buddha-Bar Hotel Budapest Klotild Palace will open in April.

Building on the current generation and the tourists and adding the classical features of the building to the equation is not an everyday undertaking but rather a brave move and a gauntlet. Good luck with it!
