A VACATION LIKE A BEAUTIFUL SONATA AT ARIA HOTEL BUDAPEST

The interior designer had two key aspirations in mind when furnishing and decorating the hotel rooms.

The first and most important requirement was to create a homelike atmosphere. The second requirement was to recreate the atmosphere of an old style palace in Budapest.

Neo-Baroque was the predominant style of the apartments owned by the bourgeois in Budapest; therefore, this gave the inspiration when designing the interior furnishings of the rooms. You can see a perfect mix of old times and the 21st century at every part of the hotel.

A specific colour was designated for each one of the four room types by defining their respective atmosphere at the same time. In the Opera Room the dominant colour is lilac, it is turquoise in the Classic room, the Jazz room sports the colour green, while the Contemporary room is featured in orange.

The former open-air yard and garden was covered almost invisibly by the designer with the application of a fantastic technical solution.

The owner and the designer were both inspired by the Apple Store glass cube in New York. The glass roof covering the 18x11 meter large garden consists of four glass beams and five pieces of glass plates. It is a unique architectural masterpiece in the whole of Europe that makes its guests’ stay in the Music Garden a highly special experience just by its mere sight.

What makes the Music Garden courtyard such an architectural marvel is the one-of-a-kind glass enclosure, bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside, allowing guests a clear view of the sky and stars above, while remaining climate-controlled for perfect comfort in any season.

The first of its kind in Europe, this unique glass ceiling is exceptionally beautiful both for guests looking upward toward the hotel rooms or for guests looking down into the Music Garden from their private balconies, since there is no metal support to disrupt the view.

Satchmo's Bar is a real cosmopolitan bar, which was given a slight feminine touch. The walls are covered with turquoise colored real silk velvet, where dozens of white mirrors and picture frames imitates the boudoirs of Hollywood film and musical stars from the 1940s.

The inspiration for the key decorating element was taken from the alcove ceiling, which looks as if a huge light globe would be installed above people’s heads.

The guests can have their meals and drinks throughout the day by sitting in comfortable armchairs enjoying the warmth of the centrally-located fireplace.

Stradivari offers farm to table Hungarian cuisine with a modern twist. Signature dishes will include popular Hungarian cuisine such as Hortobágy style pancake (in éclair format) and Lake Balaton pikeperch with parsley potatoes, but also include New Hungarian dishes such as beef pörkölt (paprika stew) burger or paprika-potatoes with veal filet mignon, prawn tail and pickled gherkin ice. One of the most extravagant choices our chef has created is the Dobos cake made from duck foie gras also a chocolate foie gras pairing. The wine selection is to feature mainly wines from Hungary as well as wines, champagne and sparkling wine by the glass.

This is a magical place, where guests can enjoy the most exquisite view of Budapest. It's a wonderful roof garden, comprised of four parts. It has two pavilions that can be fully opened in the summer; however, guests can enjoy the beautiful view even in the winter thanks to its glass walls.

The guests can enjoy a dinner composed by the chef in the pavilion looking toward the Basilica, while surrounded by the most panoramic view of Budapest.
