The building was designed by the Ybl Prize-winning architect József Finta, whose first major professional success came with this project. He also designed the nostalgic Viennese Café, which operated successfully within the walls of the building until the 2000s. A major investment in the café has resulted in the creation of the Club InterContinental Lounge, also known as the venue for personalised services, and our magnificent Presidential Suite on the 9th floor. Our guests have included some of the world's biggest companies, as well as politicians, musicians, actors, sportsmen and celebrities such as George Bush, Gábor Zsazsa, the Dalai Lama, Colin Powell, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Michael Schumacher.
