Danubius Hotel Astoria was opened in 1914. Its name given by the owners and Mihaly Geller, the first General Manager of the hotel, who formerly worked for the world-famous Waldorf Astoria in New York, and was an acknowledged expert in hospitality at thet time.
During the more than 90-year past of the Danubius Hotel Astoria, it was reconstructed and modernised several times (the renovation finished in 2006) but its unique grace was carefully restored. The Empire-style interior decoration, the marble cover and fancy carpets, the crystal chandeliers, glittering mirrors and stained-glass windows, the marvellous works of art invite the guests for a romantic journey back in time. Film producers and directors often take the advantage of the excellent facilities of the hotel, which provides perfect scenery for film shooting.
