Grand Hotel Royal Budapest
as part of the series
THE MOST FAMOUS HOTELS IN THE WORLD

(With the help of Hungarian writer Noémi Saly, who provided a deeper insight into the soul and artistic history of the city and the Royal, the elaborate puzzle of Budapest’s premier hotel was finally completed.)

Of course we all thank Alfred Pisani, the founder of the Corinthia Hotel Group, who recognised the enormous value of the ‘sleeping beauty’ Grand Hotel Royal and decided to do the right things to reopen it as the greatest historic hotel of Budapest.
Special thanks to Cornelia Kausch, who, during her days as general manager, felt that this history research project would further enhance the hotel’s great past. We appreciate the similar enthusiasm of Adrian Ellis, her successor, to support this project.
Brigitte Gruber, first director of sales and marketing, suggested the involvement of The Most Famous Hotels in the World® in the first place. Tamás Fazekas, her successor, supported it with his ideas. We must not forget Daniel Szelényi, who was among the first to research the hotel’s rich history.
Personal thanks to executive assistant manager Zoltán Géher and to Diána Dóczi, in charge of PR and marketing.
Thanks in loose order also to: Gábor Flesch, Philippe Derrien, Károly Németh, Frank Xerri de Caro, Baron Joseph De B. Dobronyi, József Rácz, Zoltán Csetnegi, Réka Dömötör, Szabolcs Timku, and last but not least Sándor Farkas.
