Kozmo Hotel Suites and Spa

Budapest VIII, also known as the Palace Quarter, is an area steeped in historic grandeur and littered with neoclassical palazzos, former winter homes of the pre-revolution Hungarian nobility. There's the majestic Szabó Ervin Library, with its marvellously ornate 4th floor reading room; the National Museum is a must-see too, not only for its fabulous collection, but for its architecture, the work of Mihály Pollack, argubaly one of the finest pieces of neoclassical architecture in Europe. Our pick of the best hotels in Budapest VIII are all pretty stylish stays too — from pampering spa hotels to cool creative spaces set in former palazzos.

For shabby-chic cool

Brody House

  • Brody House is a place for creatives, a shabby-chic hotel set in a 19th-century palazzo full of art, regular meet-ups and music events — a favourite hangout of local bohemians. You'll have breakfast at a large communal table, and meet intellectuals and creatives who attend the informal talks and art events. After exploring the 'palace quarter' of Pest, you can relax in your handmade bathtub or enjoy your room's own art gallery. Easily one of the coolest hotels in Budapest.

Great value

Palazzo Vichy

  • Palazzo Zichy is great value, a sleek contemporary hotel with bags of style. Not only does it boast a wonderful location — on a quiet street in the university district, a stone's throw from Budai Vár and Vajdahunyad Castle — but its stylish rooms, glass-roofed breakfast room and sauna allow for a city-break in style, without breaking the bank.

For a spa

Kozmo Hotel Suites and Spa

  • Kozmo Hotel Suites & Spa is an upscale luxury oasis on the Grand Boulevard, just a 20-minute walk from the centre of town.
