HOTEL INFORMATION |
|
Contemporary New York Palace is the rethinking of the original edifice
built in 1894 by the creative ideas of Maurizio Papiri.
The building has an eclectic style relying on the Italian renaissance
however the most unique contemporary interior design has gained ground
in the formation of inner spaces creating one of the most dignified
hotels within the Boscolo Group.
The opulent splendor of New York Palace can be recognized not only in
forms but materials as well. All the finest marble, textiles and
furnishings for the Hotel come from the original home of style and
design: Italy.
Commissioned by the New York Insurance Company New York Palace was built
according to the plans of Alajos Hauszmann, Flóris Korb and Alajos Giegl.
Sándor Steuer a member of a famous coffee-family opened the gem of the
building the "most beautiful café in the world" on October 23, 1894. The
ground floor café became the most splendid part of the imposing palace
beside its windows with 16 devilish fauns - "El Ashmodai" the ancient
figure of coffee and meditation - held the lantern in good style
propagating the spirituality of New York Café this way too. The majestic
building was built in eclectic style relying on Italian renaissance; its
lavishly furnished interiors were designed in the spirit of historical
eclecticism. Everything being made of marble, bronze, silk and velvet
many people compared the building to the palace of the Bavarian King
Louis II. The ceiling was decorated with the marvelous panel paintings
of Gusztáv Mannheimer and Ferenc Eisenhut at the entrance a fountain, in
the halls Venetian chandeliers dazzled visitors.
The New York from the first decade of the twentieth century became
renowned as a real literary café one of the centre of the intellectual
life of Budapest. Writers and journalists had their Home Circle here and
soon the artists' tables were formed. Shortly after, the editorial
office of the highest standard literary periodical of the age "Nyugat"
("West") found its home here, too. From the 1910s the cream of the
theatrical and movie world swarmed here: Indeed, this is where Sir
Alexander Korda - director of films such as The Private Life of Henry
VIII & The Thief of Baghdad - started out for his world award winning
career, just as Michael Curtis, Oscar winning director of Casablanca did
too. The New York was a music café: from the beginning gypsy music was
to be heard with brass music in wintertime. An abundance of legendary
personal waiters took care of the guests, each knowing intimately the
regular guests' wishes and habits.
The First World War put an end to the first golden age of the Café and
the Harsányi brothers transferred management. After the war the new
proprietor formed a warm food kitchen, the "deepwater" was replaced by a
restaurant and "New York Café - and Restaurant" became one of the most
elegant restaurants of the city and once again the centre of social
life. After the threat of the world war and with the 1930s' economic
crisis the vivid social life calmed everywhere in Europe so New York
Café temporarily closed its doors and operated as the most beautiful
warehouse in the world. It was reopened under the name of Hungária in
1954 although not as a Café but almost in its original splendor. |

DINING EXPERIENCE |
New York Cafe
Restaurant
Only at a Boscolo Luxury Hotel like the New York Palace could you expect
to find such an intriguing and magical blend of past and future.
Brilliant designer Adam D. Tihany created here dazzlingly modern
backdrops of glass, steel and light for delicious traditional Italian
and some local dishes.
Deepwater Restaurant
A treasure trove of good taste, a magic box to be opened with the tip of
a fork. Precious Slav oak walls, gold ornaments along with nickel,
crystal and optic fibers dominate the spaces in a constant vibration of
lights. In this framework of modern geometry featuring glass and wood,
the sensuality of Bohemian flavors and unexpected juxtapositions become
creations of international haute cuisine.
Cigar Bar
While the New York Café and the Deepwater Restaurant amazes the guests
with its renaissance touch and eclectic style, the Cigar Bar is the
epitome of soft classical lines. In a setting reminiscent of the typical
cafés of Budapest where intellectuals and artists once gathered, you can
meditate and relax while sipping your glass of cognac and being caressed
by the aroma of the most renowed cigars, kept in old bank safes. To
smoke a cigar slowly, or read a newspaper or a book in the excellent
company of a glass of brandy which is almost a century old... this too
is the New York Palace, where the good life is a tradition to be
respected. |
