CITY GUIDE · BUDAPEST
Twelve Budapest hotels, from the Danube embankment in Pest to Andrassy Avenue and the Buda side.
Most of our Budapest hotels are in central Pest. Four Seasons Gresham Palace, Dorothea Hotel and Aria Hotel are in Lipótváros (Leopold Town), close to the Danube, Széchenyi Square and St. Stephen's Basilica. Matild Palace, Al Habtoor Palace and Párisi Udvar are in the Inner City (Belváros), and Kempinski Corvinus is beside Erzsébet Square. Budapest Marriott Hotel is on the Danube embankment in Pest. W Budapest is on Andrássy út and Mystery Hotel is on Podmaniczky utca in Terézváros, both a little further from the river. Kimpton BEM is on the Buda side of the Danube at Bem József tér, a good pick if you would rather stay across the river from the main sights.
