Art Otel Budapest
Situated on the Buda riverfront, the Art Otel is an architectural triumph; incorporating four eighteenth century baroque houses and a new building into a single satisfying whole.

The Sofitel Atrium Budapest (formerly the Hyatt Regency) was recently crowned the ‘Greenest hotel in Hungary’. Presumably the award refers to this contemporary building’s eco-friendly credentials; nevertheless you do get the distinct feeling that you’ve arrived in an enormous garden centre. The impressive central atrium climbs ten storeys high, with each balcony dripping luxuriant foliage. However, it’s the view of Castle Hill across the Danube that steals the show. Tel. 1/266-1234Hotel Gellért
The elegant Hotel Gellért has been a city landmark since first opening its doors in 1918. The hotel’s Art Nouveau spa attracts visitors from across Europe and even if you can’t afford a room for the night the baths should still figure high on your agenda. Tel. 1/385-2200Hotel Astra Vendégház
Located in the picturesque neighbourhood of Watertown (on the west bank), the hotel Astra Vendégház is a welcome addition to Budapest’s collection of mid-range hotels. From the lobby it’s a short walk below the Castle District and the banks of the Danube beyond. A handful of rooms are en suite, but as they fill up quickly; you’ll need to book early. Tel. 1/214-1906Hotel Citedella
A perennial favourite with budget travellers the Hotel Citedella’s location is to die for. Situated within the old citadel walls perched on top of Gellért Hill the hotel’s views are breathtaking. The only real drawback is that; after a day’s sightseeing, the long slog up the hill might just finish you off. The Hotel Citedella is effectively both a hotel and a hostel and consequently attracts a diverse clientele.
