About W Budapest
Housed in the historic Drechsler Palace, W Budapest is a modern-day homage to the city’s rich heritage. Situated along Andrássy Avenue, one of Budapest’s most iconic streets, the hotel blends the grandeur of the Belle Époque with contemporary luxury. Inspired by the city’s vibrant café culture and its legendary figures - including the glamour of Zsa Zsa Gabor and the illusionary artistry of Houdini - W Budapest offers a visually immersive experience. Every design detail is meticulously curated, ensuring an atmosphere of timeless elegance with a playful twist.
The Brief
Creating an interior that respects the historic setting while embodying modern luxury required a careful balance of aesthetic and functionality. The interior designers at Bowler James Brindley sought to infuse the hotel with a bold and theatrical identity, ensuring the luxury accessible bathrooms reflected the brand’s avant-garde spirit. The challenge was to seamlessly integrate inclusive bathroom design without compromising the hotel’s opulent and artistic vision.
Our Approach

The Gosfield Collection, in Polished Chrome from our Signature Range, in a stainless steel finish, was selected for its sleek, contemporary elegance and superior durability.
