Hotels Worldwide, now part of Marriott International, has signed an agreement with QPR Properties, part of Constellation Hotels, to debut the W Hotels brand in Hungary.

Located on Andrassy Avenue (an UNESCO World Heritage Site) the W Budapest hotel, scheduled to open in 2020, will be situated on the city’s most luxurious shopping street located directly across from the State Opera House.

“Budapest has secured a spot as epicenter of European travel with the convergence of creative communities combined with a thriving economy, making this city the perfect fit for the innovative edge of W Hotels,” said Anthony Ingham, Global Brand Leader, W Hotels Worldwide. “This vibrant city remixes historic tradition with a modern twist – the perfect backdrop to offer guests and locals alike a dynamic scene that shakes up the traditional and embraces the avant-garde.”

W Budapest will feature 162 guest rooms and suites, including one Extreme WOW, the brand’s lux-take on the Presidential Suite.

The hotel will offer a restaurant and a destination bar as well as the signature W Living Room, the brand’s evolution of the traditional hotel lobby.
