Budapest / Accommodation / Classic


 

The Gellert Hotel is one of Budapest’s most recognisable landmarks and is home to one of the world’s most famous spa and swimming pool complexes. Just a short walk across Freedom Bridge to the heart of the city, it’s an exceptionally popular hotel with tourists and business travellers alike. The hotel’s banquet and conference facilities can cater for between 10 and 200 people and offer the latest technical equipment. The hotel is a few minutes’ walk from the city centre and offers spectacular views of the Danube.

 

This was the first metropolitan spa hotel in the world, offering a wide range of spa and health services in a beautiful woodland setting on Margaret Island. In combination with the facilities of the neighbouring Danubius Grand Hotel, the Thermal Hotel Margitsziget offers banquet and conference facilities for 300 guests and can cater for up to 1,200 delegates in eight function rooms.

 

One of the most lavish hotels in Budapest, if not the world. This five-star plus hotel is housed in the Gresham Palace, an exquisite art nouveau building and local landmark boasting spectacular views over the Danube and Castle District. Blending classic architecture with modern facilities and the promise of intuitive service, the Four Seasons Gresham Palace is the place to stay in Budapest. If you can’t afford a room, or have foolishly booked somewhere else, why not visit the Gresham Kavehaz (coffee bar) and dream.

 

The only premium-brand hotel in Budapest’s Castle District. Standing next to the Fisherman’s Bastion (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the designers of this modern building have tried to lessen its impact on the area by incorporating reflective glass on its exterior. The jury is still out as to whether or not the Hilton Budapest is a blot on an otherwise fairytale landscape. The Castle District is packed with tourist-friendly bars and restaurants and offers the best view over the city. Conference facilities at the Hilton Budapest cater for up to 660 guests.

 

This District V hotel may have seen better days, but an ongoing programme of refurbishment promises to return the 90-year-old hotel to its former glory. Current renovations are set to be completed by April 2006. [name]d after the Waldorf Astoria in New York, where the hotel’s first general manager was previously employed, the Hotel Astoria is situated in a busy commercial district of Budapest and is well served by public transport. The hotel’s modern conference facilities can cater for up to 200 guests and a business centre is open 24 hours every day.
