Danube riverside luxury hotel opens in Budapest, offering a magnificent view – photos
The 48-room luxury hotel boasts stunning views of the Danube, the palatial facades of Pest, and the Chain Bridge, introducing a new definition of luxury through its refined elegance.
The opening of the new seven-storey hotel was reported by turizmus.com, highlighting its clean lines, warm tones, and the use of natural materials — all evident in the images shared on the official Facebook page of the luxury establishment. According to the tourism outlet, the hotel’s standout feature is undoubtedly the breathtaking panorama — a sweeping view of the Chain Bridge and the ornate Pest riverbank.
What services does the new luxury hotel in Budapest offer?
On the ground floor, the Leon Café serves up mouth-watering breakfasts.
“Leon Café’s standout is JADE Matcha, a pioneering Japanese matcha concept transforming the traditional ritual into a contemporary experience,” the portal noted.
On the first floor, guests will find a spacious, light-filled conference room featuring sophisticated interior design and direct access to a tranquil internal garden.
From the second to sixth floors lie the guest rooms, where visitors can choose between views of Buda Castle or the Danube. Each room measures 21 square metres.
On the seventh floor, three Leon Top Floor Studio suites offer guests added comfort along with private terraces and the aforementioned unforgettable views. These suites are 40 square metres each.
As for the interior décor, the hotel breaks new ground here too. The visual artworks of Hungarian AI-artist Dávid Szauder, who resides in Berlin, lend a one-of-a-kind atmosphere to each stay.
The chain also runs a nearby restaurant
This isn’t the world-renowned Leon brand’s first venture in Budapest. They previously opened Leon Osteria on Lánchíd Street nearby, delighting customers with flavours of traditional Italian cuisine.
“For us, Leon Hotel & Lounge is more than just a hotel — it’s a bridge between past and future, connecting people in an inspiring way and creating a meaningful community. The proximity of the Chain Bridge holds symbolic significance, linking historical heritage to modern creativity. We believe the hotel brings new momentum and lasting value to the domestic hospitality market,” said hotel director András Lakézi.

The Leon group also operates other properties in Hungary. “Big brother” Hotel Clark Budapest is just steps away, while visiting the Melea – The Health Concept luxury hotel requires a longer journey to Sárvár.
Those seeking the full Leon experience can choose from the new Leon Hotel & Lounge or Hotel Clark Budapest, complementing their stay with Italian culinary delights at Leon Osteria — or enjoy an indulgent brunch at Leon Café. And all this in one of the most picturesque areas of the Hungarian capital.
How much does a two-night stay cost?
According to the hotel’s website, rates for a standard October weekend booking range from €281 (without breakfast, prepaid, but with premium wine, mineral water, and a Nespresso machine with coffee selection in the room) to €384 (includes breakfast and a fully refundable rate). River-view rooms cost slightly more than those with castle views. Naturally, the top-floor suites are pricier, coming in at nearly €600 with breakfast and free cancellation.
