Steps from the Buda Castle, or cross the Chain Bridge to see the other side of this fascinating city.

Nothing says welcome like a (seasonal) glowing fireplace in the lobby.

A modern counterpoint to this beautifully historical city, the London- and LA-inspired interiors by Hungarian designers feel fresh and now.

First opened in the late 1800s as the Grand Hotel Royal, it continues its reign as one of the finest in the city. Posh, posh, posh.

Situated in vibrant District VII, an easy walk, bus, tram or metro ride away from the sights.

Great location for when you want to explore – creature comforts when you return to the hotel.

Elegant King Midas-approved rooms decked out in gold with stylish furniture and a pillow menu.

Perfectly situated near shops, restaurants and tourist hotspots, as well as the metro for everything else.

Hotel café/bar is a people-watcher's paradise.

Reno’d 19th-century building steps from the Opera House, Deák Ferenc Square and Andrassy Avenue boutiques.

Convenient central location within walking distance of shops, restaurants and sights.

Swank boutique renovated to incorporate contemporary art & design within its historic 18th-century exterior.

Central location with convenient proximity to the train station.

Why does breakfast taste so much better when someone else makes it for you? We don’t know, but the theory is proven here.

Set in the up-and-coming Palace District, a hip neighbourhood filled with art galleries, restaurants and lively open-air bars.

Primo Castle Hill location, steps from the (wait for it…) Buda Castle and all the neighbouring shops and eats.

Surrounded by serene gardens, cuz a little nature makes us a lot more relaxed.

Feeling creative? Rooms are unique and colorful.

Primo address right on the river.

By the new Corvin Promenade – away from the tourist crush but a speedy 10-minute subway ride to the historic centre.

Leather sofas in the palmy, light-filled lobby invite. RSVP yes.

16th-century style with 21st-century amenities in the Royal Castle District (a UNESCO World Heritage Site, obv).

This spot is divided into four musically-themed wings, so privacy is not a problem.

Close to the M1 with free parking, so in-and-outs to the centre of Budapest are a breeze.

May want to have your Instagram queued up on arrival — this gorgeous early 1900s facade is no joke.

On the edge of the pedestrian district – leave the car at home (or in the hotel car park).

Want some history? Come and get it without going far, with an address along the World Heritage site of Andrássy Avenue.
