Hotel Akadémia
Completed
2005

An international management company sought to establish a 110-room, five-star hotel in the heart of Budapest, in two adjacent corner buildings built in the 19th century. All architectural and consultant' drawings were completed with the Barcelona-based design agency Capella García Arquitectos (CGA). Spanish interior designs required coordination as well. Even though this highly complex process ended with granting a binding building permit and detailed designs suitable for implementation, the economic turmoil of 2008 and 2009 brought the project to a standstill. The conflict between innovative solutions for hotel functions and the features of a historic building made the assignment especially interesting. I created each document with architect Ádám Sylvester during the lengthy planning process. The project was re-designed in 2015. Following a rather convoluted building permit procedure, Market Zrt. was in charge of the construction. The hotel opened in September 2021.
