Housed in the iconic Drechsler Palace, a UNESCO-listed landmark designed by Ödön Lechner and Gyula Pártos, the building once echoed with the rhythm of the Hungarian Ballet Institute. Its grand architecture and arcades remain a tribute to Budapest’s turn-of-the-century elegance.

Today, under the W vision, this historic setting is reimagined as a contemporary stage for expression, connection, and late-night culture, where heritage meets the now.

W Hotels is a global lifestyle brand born in New York in 1998, redefining luxury through music, design, and social energy — where hotels become living stages of culture and connection.

From New York to Barcelona, Dubai to Rome, each W is shaped by its city, blending local spirit with a global attitude of expressive, always-on hospitality.

W Lounges were born as the social heart of W Hotels — designed to blur the line between lobby, bar, and cultural stage.
