Which Five-star Hotel in Budapest Shall I Choose?

Pick the best luxury hotel in Budapest for your priorities. But what are your priorities? We assume that you can decide more easily based on Location, Panoramic Views, Amenities (basically spas, pools and wellness facilities as most luxury features are uniformly available in Budapest five star hotels) and Neighborhood (again, safety is luckily not an issue as all hotels can boast about excellent neighborhoods).

Super Centrally Located Hotels in Budapest

Super centrally located luxury hotels can be defined in 3 ways when talking about Budapest. One without and one with the riverview, and one in the midst of the happening area. Budapest - a city of 2 million people - is spread out - but it has an amazingly good public transportation system!

Super Central Hotels, NO Riverview

Be in the middle of the city centre (the key square is Deak Ferenc ter), where the metro lines meet and you can get anywhere with public transportation easily. No views of the River Danube means no problem to you as your strongest priority is speed and ease. Plus the view is not that bad, see the photo of Erzsebet ter? If your room does not face this beautiful recreational square, you will see mostly 19th century buildings. This luxury hotel location is close to historical buildings, to shopping, to bars, etc. Super central without river-view means you can stay at two contemporary style five-star hotels: Kempinski or Le Meridien (right next to each other).

Super Central Hotels, WITH Riverview

Super Central with Magical Danube Riverview: once you are in Budapest Hungary, you will love the River Danube with the Royal Palace, the Chain Bridge, the Gellert Hill, and the romantic walks on the embankment, etc. The breathtaking view is intimately elegant and historically touching. If your priority is fantastic panoramic views, You have 4 Budapest luxury hotels to choose from: Four Seasons Gresham Palace, then the neighbouring Hotel Sofitel Budapest, and Hotel InterContinental Budapest, plus the Marriott Hotel. While Hotel Hilton Castle District has breathtaking views, it is located on the Buda side of Budapest, on top of the quieter Castle Hill and cannot be considered truly super-centrally located.

Super Central Hotels in the Happening Area

Let's define the happening area as the 1 mile radius from the square called Oktogon ter, right on Andrassy Avenue. Contemporary style, long and short term hotel? Either City Home Concierge Residential Hotel or Queen's Court Hotel & Residence come to mind. Then there is the beautiful palace of Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal Check out the happening area luxury hotels in Budapest on the Budapest Tourist Map by clicking on the 'yellow house' luxury hotel icons. Look for Liszt Ferenc & Oktogon ter.

Spa and Luxury Hotels in Budapest

Budapest is truly the city of spas, so even luxury hotels wish to reflect the Roman-Turkish spa inheritage. There are basically 4 good options. First, you can consider staying at the only spa-centred five-star hotel in Budapest the Ramada Plaza (Corinthia Aquincum) with several spas of different sizes (not very central location though). And then some further leading five-star hotels come to mind like the Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal or Four Seasons Gresham Palace as well as Corvinus Hotel Kempinski.

And here is the Royal Spa of Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal, which, on the other hand, tends to be crowded, except for lunch hours.
