Library Hotel Collection is to open the Aria Hotel Budapest in March.
The New York-based boutique group will launch the 49-room property in an 1870s neoclassical building on the Pest side of the River Danube, close to St Stephen's Basilica.
The hotel has a musical theme, with each guestroom featuring artworks depicting legendary artists and composers, and music libraries accessed via iPads and flatscreen TVs.
Rooms also offer free wifi, and many have balconies overlooking the property's glass-enclosed Music Garden courtyard.
Other facilities include Teatro Aria, where nightly entertainment will be provided, and High Note Skybar, a rooftop terrace open year-round and offering 360-degree views.
The hotel is a sister property to the Aria Prague. The group has four hotels in New York, including the Library hotel on Madison Avenue, and is due to launch a Toronto property in spring 2016.
