Dear Guests,
> LE BAR - Have a light-hearted time at Le Bar and do not miss our lovely seasonal cocktails
A SIP OF LUXURY
> There is no doubt that every moment has its colour, melody, scent and flavour. This is what can make a
memory last and delight our senses, this is how we can cherish a feeling even for a lifetime. Sitting by the fire on
a cold winters day with a gripping novel, sipping a glass of full bodied red wine Lounging on the beach with
the salty-sweet taste of the sea in our mouth, feeling the gentle summer breeze Or waking up in the morning
and having a cup of coffee in bed next to the one we belong to these are the mosaics of our life that bring
warmth to the heart any time they come to mind.
This philosophy is what Le Bar probably the most homely part of our hotel is based on. Three different
sections for various ways of spending free time, complemented with the finest beverages. From Tuesday to
Sunday, dimmed lights and live music attract guests who wish to spend a light-hearted evening. Having a
feather-light white wine, accompanied by smooth piano melodies at the beginning of the week, or sampling the
world-famous Hungarian plinka (fruit brandy) to the sounds of lively Gypsy music every Saturday are perfect
ways to spend free-and-easy time in good company at the front of Le Bar, between the grandiose walls of the
spacious Atrium II.
Entering from the direction of the Lobby, one experiences something very different. A living-room atmosphere
with an impressive library, comfortable armchairs and a fireplace that is especially lovely in wintertime. Read
a magazine or select a book along with a delicious coffee or tea: this is the most relaxing way to have some
quality private time. And last but not least, there is the heart of Le Bar with a large screen relaying the most
important sports events all day. During championship finals, tennis, football or basketball, fans gather together
and sometimes the whole place turns into a real sport pub with ecstatic sounds of cheering.
The beverage selection is simply endless, but perhaps the seasonal cocktails are the top choice of all guests.
There can be no greater pleasure in a bar than to mix a drink yourself. At Le Bar it is completely natural, since
bartenders serve beverages on a silver tray with mini shaker, showing how to do the mixing professionally. It is
definitely an opportunity not to be missed.
Happy hours feature special offers and an ever-changing range of drinks, and of course, there is an array of light
snacks, sandwiches, carb-smart and gluten-free dishes when the pangs of hunger strike!
Dniel Horvath, Le Bar Manager, talked with undeniable enthusiasm about the place: I simply got to love being
here. For me, the magic of the bar is in its exciting unpredictability. At one moment it is chilled, tranquil, with
couples, readers, business people sipping coffee, and the next moment it is full of laughing groups of friends.
Some days I enjoy long chats with guests, and other days I need to focus on the service itself, because the place
is crowded. This is a great challenge and I can claim it is my mission to keep Le Bar moving forward.
There is no doubt that it is worth paying a visit to this special part of the hotel and maybe experiencing an
unforgettable moment sweetened by the flavour of luxury.

first urban festival for everybody who adores this city, especially the changes that have occurred in the capital
in recent years. This idea became BUDAPEST ESSENTIALS (June 25-28), everything this city has to offer in a
single package: music, parties, culture, gastronomy and an absolutely indescribable atmosphere! For four days,

PRIVATE BUDAPEST BOAT TRIPS BY DUNARAMA
> Budapest is unique since there is not another beautifully illuminated capital in Europe where you can
enjoy the sights from the river in the middle of the city. Marveling at the brightly lit capital from a silent
water limousine is an unforgettable experience for both tourists and locals. Devote a day to a boat trip
in Budapest with your partner, your friends or guests. It is the perfect opportunity to take photos of the
Houses of Parliament, the Royal Castle, Gellrt Hill and several famous universities. Have a closer look
at the famous bridges of the Danube and the developing cultural hub centered around the National
Theatre and Palace of Arts. If you feel like stretching your legs during the boat trip, do not hesitate, you
only need to decide where to disembark. You can choose from several ports such as Margaret Island
the green oasis of Budapest, Batthyny Square the neighborhood of the Castle district or the Blna
Cultural and Exhibition Center.
Treat yourself with one of our tempting offers and create lasting
memories with Corinthia Hotel Budapest.
