Traditions of the Trade[]
At the Thermal Bath Hotel in Budapest, a peace summit is being held. Attending are all the leaders of the world's great nations, and naturally, the renowned hotel is swarming with security.
Frantz Fuchs is your target. Normally we would not care about the leaders, but preventing the attack will make us popular with many governments and could mean a new clientele for our business.
Our customer has requested the bomb, so you have to take it out of the hotel.

Intelligence[]
Traditions of the Trade Map
- Our customer wants terrorist Frantz Fuchs dead and the special chemical bomb that he is planning to use at the hotel.
- Frantz Fuchs has arrived to the hotel several days before the convention. He will probably check in under the assumed name Heinrich Wulff. It is very unlikely that Fuchs is hiding the bomb in his hotel room. So you must do some investigation to find some clues.
- Metal detectors have been placed at all checkpoints in the hotel. But it is a big hotel and our intelligence has found out that not all routes are blocked.
- Investigate the hotel to find a safe escape route. The usual pickup will be waiting for you at the rendezvous point.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Shooting the Chemical Bomb doesn't set it off.
- If the Chemical Bomb is retrieved without the suitcase, civilians will panic and guards will open fire on 47, despite the fact that he is carrying a bomb.
- One of the ways to assassinate Fritz Fuchs, drowning, is shown in the Hitman Legacy Opening Cinematic.
Codename 47[]
- In Hitman: Codename 47, wearing the Bellboy outfit and talking to the receptionist triggers a conversation. During this conversation, Agent 47 mistakenly uses the voice lines for the Bellboy with the Bellboy voice actor instead of David Bateson.
- In Hitman: Codename 47, the hotel is named the "Hotel Gallàrd" while in Hitman: Contracts it is the "Hotel Galar"
- In addition, the hotel is based on the real life Hotel Gellért.
- Apart from Training, this is the only mission in Hitman: Codename 47 in which disguises can be found as clothing pickups, instead of having to be snatched from npcs. Another aspect unique to Training and this mission is the balcony jump are only possible in these two levels
Contracts[]
- In Hitman: Contracts, in the northeast section of the first floor of the hotel, a Ghost can be found floating in the hallways of the restricted wing, and in the bathtubs in hotel rooms. He can be seen through the mirror. If Agent 47 uses the fiber wire on the ghost, the "body" can be found and guards will act accordingly.
- There are areas included on the map but that are inaccessible to the player, such as rooms and corridors, are actually completely empty and void of any solid surface
- using the Teleport command while throwing a target's corpse onto the opposite balcony will cause the target to be removed from the map, thus failing
