Five star hotels don't get that rating simply by having the highest thread count sheets and gourmet room service meals, they will bend over backwards (literally if need be) to keep their guests happy. So that begs the question: how far will they actually go for a client?
It might surprise you. From sending staff to get iPhone training at a local apple store (so they can help a guest learn to work hers) to last minute damage control and orchestration of a wedding proposal involving a hot air balloon, they really will do it all. Read about more crazy stories here, and if you have any of your own please share!
New York Palace in Budapest
The New York Palace Hotel in Budapest opened this week after undergoing an €80 million renovation that not only updated the interior, but built on an entirely new wing. The hotel was originally an office building, built in 1894 for a New York insurance company. It was purchased from the Hungarian government in 2001 by Boscolo Hotels for only €8 million. The redesigned luxury hotel is extremely elegant, with a glassed-over courtyard and walkways full of gilt and marble. According to Boscolo, all of the textiles and furnishings come from Italy. The Hotel's New York Cafe has reopened as well, offering guests a taste of history, as it was a famously popular meeting place for artists and writers before World War II. Rooms start at €290 and the two royal suites start at €2,500 per night.
The addition of the new wing, which is still not entirely complete, will bring the total number of rooms up to 180 from the current 107, as well as adding conference facilities and a parking garage.
