Danube Embankment, Hungary

Travel enthusiast Maciej Mońka
Displayed:   times.

Construction of the quay at the Pest end of the Chain Bridge began in the 1860s, when sandy and shoaly sections of the quay were embanked. Eclectic-style hotels were erected here not much later. With the new promenade (Korzó) the former neo-Classical city-scape was changed. Together with most of the hotels the Korzó was destroyed in 1944-45. The only surviving hotel was the Bristol, which in 1969 was replaced by the Hotel Marriott. To the north the Intercontinental Hotel was raised in the early 1980s.
