Interior designer Somlai Tibor researched the venue's profile. Ipacs Géza, a graphic designer known for wine label designs, developed the main concept and graphic design.

“This design hotel, Hungary's oldest, impressed me with its thoughtful blend of modern aesthetics and historical charm, especially in the well-appointed rooms and commitment to local artistry; I particularly appreciate its location in the Castle District near Matthias Church and Buda Castle. The bistro, known for its authentic Hungarian cuisine, is a true highlight. Overall, it's a property that stands out for its character and prime location.”
