W Budapest

The palace has retained some of its original architectural details and tells the story of Budapest through its design while injecting plenty of contemporary glamor. Guest rooms are all slightly different but showcase shades of blue, green, and orange. Some rooms include original details such as ornate ceilings and columns. Bathrooms are decorated in a bold checkerboard design.

The hotel’s dining venues are eclectic. Nightingale by Beefbar serves a fusion of Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese cuisine in a colorful setting. In the warmer months, head to the Seasonal Terrace for craft cocktails along with views of the Budapest Opera House. W Lounge is the hotel’s social hub and the place to go for a drink and live music.

The subterranean AWAY Spa is inspired by Budapest’s thermal bath culture, and is a glamorous place to decompress. Unwind in the steam room, Finnish sauna, or swim laps in the pool. Book a massage or mud wrap. Break a sweat in the fitness center which is stocked with Technogym equipment, or sign up for a yoga or meditation session.

Don’t miss Budapest’s iconic buildings such as Buda Castle and the Hungarian Parliament building. Take a river boat cruise to discover the city, and visit the Hungarian National Gallery. Make time to soak in one of the city’s thermal spas.
