Another beautiful building in Budapest

Now that our departure looms, I am intent in capturing all the beautiful sights around this wonderful capital city that I have not yet shown.  The former Gresham Hotel, now the Four Seasons Hotel is one such building right opposite the Lanchid.

The building was commissioned by the Gresham Life Insurance company as luxury apartments, offices and shops and was built 1902-1904.  It was badly damaged in WWII and further deteriorated in the 1990s.  It was purchased by another company and restored to its former glory and re-opened as a luxury hotel. It is a very handsome building and holds a commanding presence opposite the Chain Bridge.

A view of it lit up at night.  Below are shots of the foyer and reception area and the lovely wrought iron gate at the entrance
