Budapest Week Publishing, one of the best-known English-Hungarian language publishers in the country, every year since 1993 polls its readers and business partners as well as members of the publisher’s board of directors on who they consider are the best of the best in the domestic tourism service provider sector. Prizes for the best are awarded on the basis of more than 10,000 votes and the strict monitoring of the professional jury. A total of 211 service providers were honoured in 46 categories based on their performance in 2016. We are extremely proud that Várkert Bazár was ranked among the winners in the Best event & conference locations category.

In light of this acknowledgement, we would like to use this opportunity to thank all our partners who honoured us by choosing Várkert Bazár as the venue for their events.

Thanks to its technical characteristics, the event space accessible through the Cabin Pavilion is ideally suited for the arrangement of conferences, product presentations, banquets, fashion shows, exhibitions, balls, theatre and concert performances, and even family events and film screenings.

The Event Hall combines original structural elements designed by Miklós Ybl and the very latest architectural innovations. The lobby is a transparent concrete box, one wall of which provides a view to the old buttresses, while the other side wall is covered with enlargements of the Hartmann Schedel World Chronicle published in 1493, which contains the first authentic depiction of Buda Castle. Buffet stations illuminated by matt glass lighting rods stand at either end of the lobby. A corridor leading to the three-storey underground garage is accessible from the two turquoise-toned cloakrooms of the lobby.

The walls of the 900-m2 Event Hall are covered in black acoustic wood panelling with LED inserts.
