The arrival of the St. Regis brand is an important milestone for the Budapest luxury hotel market. The palace was built at the turn of the 20th century, commissioned by Archduchess Clotilde of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The building evokes Budapest's golden age, a time when lively intellectual exchanges took place in the coffee houses and social life unfolded under glittering chandeliers. The Klotild Palace was previously home to the former Buddha-Bar Hotel.
The St. Regis brand, now part of the Marriott portfolio, was created by John Jacob Astor IV in 1904 with the opening of The St. Regis New York, with the aim of creating a meeting place for the leading figures of the day. This heritage lives on today in more than 60 outstanding locations around the world, characterised by personalised service, discreet elegance and timeless traditions.
St. Regis Budapest welcomes guests with 102 elegantly designed rooms, including 39 suites and two exclusive signature suites: the Klotild Tower Suite and the two-bedroom Presidential Suite.
The hotel's social hub will be the St. Regis Bar, where the brand's iconic Bloody Mary is reborn with local inspiration, accompanied by a selection of wines and premium drinks. The signature St. Regis rituals – including Afternoon Tea and the spectacular Champagne Sabrage – will set the rhythm of the hotel, combined with the personalised care of the St. Regis Butler Service. The St. Regis Spa offers a calm urban retreat, complemented by the intimate Celebration Bar.
At the heart of the culinary offering is 99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant, the internationally acclaimed restaurant concept known for its contemporary Japanese cuisine and precise approach. The elegant event rooms – including the John Jacob Astor Boardroom and the Caroline Salon – provide a refined setting for private events and business meetings, while the Klotild Patisserie, filled with restored turn-of-the-century furniture, offers quiet moments of relaxation during the day, evoking Budapest's coffee-house traditions.
