Permanent Exhibition Opens In Corinthia Hotel Budapest
In 2013, Corinthia Hotel Budapest celebrates the 10th anniversary of its reopening. The hotel was originally built in 1896 to commemorate the Hungarian Millennium, and in the course of a long and exciting history it has undergone many trials. The legendary building can thank Malta-based Corinthia Group for its rebirth, when in 2003 the new owner restored the hotel to its original magnificence.

To mark the occasion an exhibition opens in the corridor adjacent to the main entrance of the hotel. The display not only presents the key events of the past decade, but it also takes us on a journey going back in time more than 100 years to reveal the history of the building. The Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism compiled the exhibition, partly from its own material and partly from documents donated by former and current employees of the hotel and which are now in the public domain.

“We are proud of our history and this exhibition is a suitable memorial to the old times. The display is designed to offer an interesting programme not only for our hotel guests but everyone who is interested,” said Thomas M Fischer, General Manager of the hotel.

The formal opening of the exhibition takes place as part of the series of 10th anniversary celebrations on 25 April 2013. The exhibition can be visited not only on this occasion but will become a permanent part of the hotel’s programme offer.

The hotel originally opened as the Grand Hotel Royal in 1896 and was entirely renovated and, in parts, rebuilt, in 2003, following its acquisition by Corinthia Hotels.
