The Best Hotels in Budapest
"Among the first international luxury hotels to open in Budapest, the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus celebrated 30 years last year, and a testament to its appeal are the many staff members who have been there since its debut. Unlike newer hotels that have made their home in exquisitely restored period buildings, the Kempinski is purpose-built, but its curving interior shapes, filled with the hotel’s Hungarian art collection, still feel contemporary, while the luxurious spa has just undergone a complete redesign and will be offering a new menu of treatments from this autumn. For dining, guests can choose from the hotel’s signature ÉS Bisztró for Hungarian classics and specialities from the grill, Asian fusion from Nobu or four more restaurants, bars, and cafes, while Budapest’s iconic shopping street, Fashion Street, is just a step away. Recently renovated rooms with cool, contemporary colors and brass, gold, and rich wood accents look out onto the Budapest Eye and, beyond it, the dome of St. Stephen’s Basilica."
