Formerly the Hungarian headquarters of the New York Life Insurance Company, the New York Palace seamlessly links 19th-century Budapest with the energetic, artistic city of today. You’ll discover this cultural crossover at the legendary New York Café where, surrounded by Belle Époque frescoes, marble and brocade, the atmosphere feels intriguingly contemporary and creative.

Around you, artists and writers still gather for coffee and the meeting of minds. In the deeply comfortable guest rooms you’ll find authentic period design updated with modern touches; and service that’s at your side before you even knew you needed it.

Affectionately known as ‘the most beautiful café in the world’, the legendary New York Café has long played host to artists, writers and cultural visionaries. Today, as part of Budapest’s gastronomic renaissance, it’s a must-visit for guests and visitors alike – for the cuisine as much as for the experience. Savour the Belle Époque surroundings as you choose from a menu of typical Hungarian flavours, creative modern Italian dishes and international favourites.

Tucked away within the New York Café you’ll find The Salon, the intimate fine dining restaurant. Additionally, the Nyugat Bar has a style and ambience all its own – settle in here for a peaceful drink, a cocktail or a late-night vintage brandy.

In a city known for its thermal baths and healing waters, discover the New York Palace’s authentic luxury spa. Put yourself into the hands of the experienced professionals to rediscover your inner well-being. Relax and allow yourself to be pampered, choosing from the imaginative treatments drawn from various cultural traditions. Work out in the well-equipped gym. And at the end of the day, sink into the architect-designed pool, inspired by the natural elements of air, water and stone, and be transported by its textures and colours into a place of deep calm and peace.
