Lánchíd 19 Hotel Budapest, Hungary

Lánchíd 19 Hotel is a boutique design hotel located in Budapest, Hungary. Situated on the Buda side of the city, it offers stunning panoramic views of the Chain Bridge and the Danube River. The hotel's name, Lánchíd, translates to 'Chain Bridge' in Hungarian, which is fitting given its picturesque location. The number 19 refers to the hotel's address along the Lánchíd (Chain Bridge) street. Lánchíd 19 Hotel stands out for its contemporary design, blending modern aesthetics with elements of Hungarian heritage. The interior features sleek and minimalist decor, with clean lines and a neutral color palette. The use of natural materials and innovative lighting designs create a stylish and inviting ambiance. Accommodation options at Lánchíd 19 Hotel include comfortable and spacious rooms and suites, each tastefully decorated and equipped with modern amenities. Some rooms offer breathtaking views of the Danube River and the city skyline. The hotel also features a rooftop terrace, offering panoramic views and a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Additionally, there is an on-site restaurant that serves a blend of Hungarian and international cuisine, providing guests with a memorable dining experience. Lánchíd 19 Hotel is an ideal choice for travelers seeking a unique and stylish stay in Budapest, combining modern design with captivating views of the city's iconic landmarks.

The architect and design team created a moveable accordion-like glass façade, further animated by the changing colours of an innovative lighting design concept. Glass is one of the dominant materials in the interiors as well, creating a sense of openness and allowing movement and connectedness to become an integral part of Lánchíd 19’s character. A building-high glass atrium towers above the foyer enabling natural light to flood the communal spaces and glass bridges which lead to the guestrooms.

A wooden staircase connects the foyer with a restaurant, which is located on a gallery above. Looking over the open-work glass and wood space separators, one has views of the restaurant and the intimate garden beyond. The lobby itself is equally dramatic with its transparent floor revealing Roman ruins a level below. Here again history is well integrated into the interior design where examples of classical-modern design, such as chairs by Alvar Aalto are mixed with custom-designed furnishings. In the guestrooms, the spatial connection of the living space and bathrooms – similar to the whole house – indicates the concept of flowing space with their glass sliding doors.
