Continental Hotel Budapest

The hotel is located on the corner of Nyár and Dohány streets, near the old Jewish quarter and the Klauzál Square market.

The history of Continental Hotel dates back to the early 20th century, when the first baths were built on site in 1827, then washed away in the Great Flood of 1838, but the building, which still remains standing, dates back to 1910.

Then after many years of negotiations and controversies about demolishing the building, in the summer of 2004, the National Office of Cultural Heritage ordered the interim protection of buildings at risk in the area of the former Pest Jewish ghetto, including the Hungária Bath.

Finally, on April 7, 2009, after years of neglect, ZeinaHotel Ltd promoted a 50 million Euro construction project to revive the accommodation.

[2] Continental Hotel is located in the heart of Budapest, near the junction of Nagykörút (Grand Boulevard) and Rákóczi út.
