Corinthia Budapest Hotel

Review by hotel critic

Situated in the heart of the city, it provided an ideal base for exploring Budapest's historic charm, with famous spots like Heroes' Square just a 15-minute walk away. The highlight of our visit was the Royal Spa, where we enjoyed the stunning pool framed by Corinthian columns and a stained-glass ceiling—truly an art deco masterpiece. The attentive staff, especially Sadiq in the executive lounge, made our experience unforgettable; he effortlessly personalized our stay, even remembering our favorite drinks, which added a touch of familiarity amidst the lavish surroundings. We were celebrating my partner's 30th birthday, and arriving to a complimentary bottle of champagne and a delicious cake in our room was a delightful surprise that perfectly encapsulated the thoughtful hospitality we encountered throughout our stay. Dining at the Brasserie for their exceptional breakfast offered not only a wide selection of healthy choices but also a lovely atmosphere to kick-start our mornings. The quality of the food reflected Hungary's rich culinary heritage and was a wonderful way to begin our day before adventuring out into the city. Corinthia Budapest undoubtedly set a high bar, combining indulgence, history, and a warm ambiance that left us longing for more. It’s a haven I would happily revisit, especially for those steamy post-run soaks at Széchenyi Thermal Bath!
