Normafa, known as the most remarkable natural reserve of Budapest, holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors as well. Located in the Buda Hills, it has been a beloved destination for nature enthusiasts, sportsmen, artists, and poets for centuries. This picturesque hilltop area offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, lush greenery, and a sense of serenity that is unparalleled.
The name of Normafa dates back to the early 19th century when popular actress of the time, Róza Klein Schodelné, was captivated by the huge, lonely beech tree, and sang Bellini’s Norma aria under the tree. From then on, the beech tree started to be called Normafa (meaning Norma tree), a name that slowly spread to the surrounding area, which offers an uninterrupted view of the capital.
Normafa stands as a testament of the rich heritage of this revered location. As part of our commitment to preserve the essence of Normafa, our hotel underwent a careful renovation harmonizing with the surrounding environment.
The holistic design philosophy Vasati became the guiding principle during renovation, allowing the building to coexist seamlessly with the natural beauty of Normafa. From the layout of our rooms to the choice of materials, every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to create a serene and harmonious atmosphere for our guests.
