FESTIVE SEASON 2016
“CHRISTMAS LONG AGO WAS THE MEMORY OF A DREAM THAT SEEMED NEVER TO END. BUT SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT DREAM, I ALWAYS DID WAKE UP, JUST IN TIME TO ATTEND THE CHRISTMAS PARTY.” E.T.A. HOFFMANN, THE NUTCRACKER
THE NUTCRACKER COMES TO LIFE AT CORINTHIA HOTEL BUDAPEST THIS CHRISTMAS There is nothing that fills your heart and soul with the warmth and loving embrace of holiday enchantment like The Nutcracker.
Every Sunday, let us take you on an incredible journey through Clara’s dream, where a charming ballerina and the Nutcracker prince will be on hand to greet you and your loved ones during brunch. From the moment you enter our 120 year old building, the air will be filled with the music of Tchaikovsky’s most renowned piece, inspired by Christmas, The Nutcracker. Surrounded by the scent of freshly-roasted chestnuts and mulled wine, Little Clara – our ballerina – will escort you through the Lobby Lounge.
The Brasserie & Atrium restaurant transforms into a magical kingdom ruled over by the Nutcracker prince, giving our Festive Sunday Brunches a fairy-tale ambiance.
As Christmas is not complete without chocolate, we are surprising the little ones with a special artist, Mr. Zoltán Pável, whose specialty is painting on glass with real chocolate. It is not only entertaining but also a delicious experience not to be missed!
