History
The Dorothea Hotel, Autograph Collection weaves together three historic buildings in Budapest's District V, near Vörösmarty tér: the neo-Renaissance Weber building of 1873 (former headquarters of a Budapest savings bank), the art nouveau Mahart building of 1913 (once home to a Hungarian shipping company), and the modernist Munnich building of 1937. Named after Archduchess Maria Dorottya of Württemberg, wife of the Habsburg Palatine Joseph, it opened on 20 November 2023 as the Autograph Collection's debut in Hungary.
The eight-year restoration and reimagining was led by Piero Lissoni and Lissoni & Partners for developer BDPST Group. The 216-room hotel blends contemporary and heritage room categories and showcases a Zsolnay tile wall of more than 5,000 custom pieces, heritage-room doors adorned with 19th-century paintings from the Hungarian National Gallery, and dining at the Pavilon Restaurant & Bar set around an inner garden.
