Market transforms iconic hotel to flats



Market Asset Management will begin a two-year transformation of the Budapest Hotel into upscale apartments in the summer, the property developer of the Market Group announced on Thursday.

The 280-room cylindrical building in Buda, also known as the Corallo, (Round Hotel) designed by György Szrogh, opened in 1967.

Market added that use of the building as a hotel has proven unviable in recent decades, while there is a great demand for new, high-quality apartments in Buda.

The developer will build 50 apartments completed with wellness and fitness facilities, a restaurant and offices.

The scheduled completion date is the third quarter of 2027.
