The Telegraph’s list of the most romantic hotels of Budapest! – photos
Change language:
As Adrian Phillips, a destination expert of the famous British The Telegraph puts it, Budapest “is one of Europe’s most romantic cities, with broad boulevards, classical buildings, and the Danube sweeping through its middle.” He enjoyed the several Michelin-starred restaurants, the illuminated bridges, the panorama of the city, the cosmopolitan Pest, and the historical heartland of Buda. Here is his collection of the most romantic hotels of the Pearl of the Danube.
Aria Hotel Budapest
Equipped with a rooftop bar which could become the coolest place in Budapest for a cocktail, the hotel is in the shadow of St Stephen’s Basilica. It has a spa, a swimming pool, traditional Hungarian dishes, a space-age piano, and the best sights of the city are within walking distance. It is from £234 per night, The Telegraph reports.
Corinthia Hotel Budapest
Neo-classical facade, genuine beaut, marble lobby, ballroom. Everything that somebody loving beauty and clear-cut forms wants to see if they are far from home. The service is impeccable, and the facilities include the Royal Spa, which offers a range of massages and treatments and has not only two Finnish saunas, three whirlpool tubs, a steam room, and complimentary juice bar, but also a truly stunning pool surrounded by Corinthian columns and topped with a stained-glass ceiling. Available from £103 per night.
Continental Hotel Budapest
According to Adrian Phillips, this hotel is the city’s classiest four-star hotel, with top-quality service and facilities. The pick of the bunch is a rooftop swimming pool complete with poolside sun loungers and splendid views to Buda Castle Palace and other city landmarks. Rooms are available from £72 per night.
Prestige Hotel Budapest
Confidence and glass – says the British journalist about this hotel in the heart of the capital. Hotel catering is provided through a joint venture with Costes, Hungary’s first Michelin-starred restaurant, who have rented the dining room and established Costes Downtown. Those who ate enough can use the small fitness room plus whirlpool and sauna on the first floor. In the lobby, guests can read the newspapers near a mock fireplace. Rooms are available from £88 per night.

Baltazár Budapest
Owned by the famous Zsidai family, one of the leading restaurateurs in the city, its restaurant is top drawer, and the hotel has a colour, character, and attention to design detail that makes it very special. It has 11 uniquely designed rooms (including three suites), one has a feature wall showing Vermeer’s ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’, another an unusual open bathroom with a shower cubicle overlooking the bedroom. They are available from £58 per night.
Hotel Moments Budapest
Hotel Moments is a place with character and elegance, says Mr Phillips. It was built in 1880, and thanks to its professional renovation, for example, the frescoes in the glass-topped atrium lobby are faithful to the style of the period. In the restaurant, you can find Hungarian and international dishes creatively and beautifully presented. Rooms are available from £90 per night.
