Park Plaza Budapest

Just had my annual global team meeting here, this year being in Budapest. The Park Plaza Budapest was out landing spot, where we had a team of about 50 people stay for a few days, plus we held 2 days of business meetings in their meeting facilities, with break and lunch services organized within. Everything went to plan, and the local hotel team was even able to accommodate some last-minute requests to use their hotel bar for pre-dinner drinks. That may sound like not a big deal, but when unexpected crowds of 30-40 people flood the bar at one time for drinks, it is a bit difficult to manage. The staff kindly obliged and the service exceeded expectations. Lunches were excellent and varied on each day, and the break snacks were mixed and delicious. The hotel meeting facilities are fit for purpose; the teams will accommodate to setup needs as required. From a hotel perspective, the gym is good and bonus to have sauna/steam room access in the evenings. Lastly, they have a star with their event planner Linda Farago. I don't know how she did it, but she was on top of everything (ensuring meeting room/facility access, having breaks and lunches proceed well, etc.). She made sure that any last-minute changes were accommodated and that her team had all topics in hand. I was rather stressed about this event without my own on location event planning staff that I usually have as a 3rd party, but I didn't need it this time with her help. A massive thank you from me (and my team) to her and her event team at the Park Plaza Budapest.
