MADISON: opening soon
on Andrássy Ut. 26, Budapest
MADISON tried to break into the Hungarian market since 2009, but finding the perfect location, which would comply with the MADISON lifestyle and become a perfect home for the exclusive products retailed and distributed by the company, was not an easy task. Andrássy Ut was the only perfect fit, but the availability of a suitable location took 2 more years to come along.
With the assistance of Anita Csorgo, partner at Colliers International, and advised by Sandor Kisgyorgy, Attorney at Law, the search came to an end in 2011.

Andrássy Ut. 26, the premises of the famous Opera Patika was love at first sight for Madeleine. This grand Patika in Budapest, the interior of which has been

They are about to reconstruct the building's original facade, while the original wooden
interior has already undergone a renovation and is patiently waiting for the new products to move in their rightful places.
Therefore we have succeeded not only to preserve a piece of Budapest history, but also to start a new era that will bring back the glamour of the shiny past inside the walls of Opera Patika. Budapest has a total of only 10 stores which have protected interior designs, and Opera Patika is unique even among them.
