The Royal Spa is stunning, plus you'll find various dining options and an atmospheric bar. The perfect property for a luxurious city break.”

Hotel review

The Corinthia occupies the historic building that opened its doors as a hotel back in 1896. And whilst the property has been totally renovated, there are plenty of its grand original features on display including marble galore and the jaw-dropping, art-deco Royal Spa. Bedrooms and suites are what you'd expect from a top quality five star hotel - well appointed, comfy mattresses, Nespresso machines...Plus they offer residences which are even more spacious and perfect for travellers staying for longer periods with their fully equipped kitchens and washing machines. Dining at the Corinthia offers something for everyone from fine dining at Caviar & Bull to the award winning Bistro Bock. Put simply the Corinthia is the perfect pick for anyone wanting a luxury stay in Budapest, but also one that won't break the bank!
