On 19 November 2022, our Foundation commemorated the 110th birthday of our namesake with a celebratory event in the Pesti Vigadó along the Danube, recalling the tradition of “Otto Dinners”.
Within the cooperation between our Foundation and Herend Porcelain Manufactory, limited edition coffee cups were created for the 110th anniversary of the birth of our namesake.
The name of Otto von Habsburg was associated with the Hotel Gellért as early as the mid-1920s through the so-called “Otto dinners”, and after the change of regime, a suite was named after him as he was a frequent guest.
