From Insurance to Hotel Heaven

7.jpg

Would you believe me if I told you that one of the premier European Hotels was founded by an insurance company? Yes, the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest was built by the Gresham Life Insurance Company way back in 1906. However, 90 years or so later, it was purchased by another company and is now being managed by Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. In June 2004, it was reopened to the public to a resounding success.

So what’s so special with this place, you say? Just like the other hotels we’ve covered before, this one also has a specialty, the darázsfészek, a Hungarian sticky bun. The hotel also has Páva Restaurant, considered as one of Hungary’s best restaurant. For parents who brought their children with them, fear not as the hotel also has something to offer them, such as complimentary use of games, playing cards, coloring books, and video games.

Who knew that insurance companies had such good taste in hotels?
