Hotel Review
Budapest’s finest luxury hotel is also one of its most exceptional buildings, an outstanding example of Art Nouveau in an unparalleled river setting, opposite the famous Chain Bridge. Opened in 2004, its magnificent façade, ironwork and Zsolnay ceramics were painstakingly restored, making this Four Seasons hotel one of the Canadian group’s most characterful, with the service one expects from Four Seasons to match (but not the kind prices: this is one branch of the chain you may well be able to afford). Don’t miss the millefeuille in the Kavehaz (coffee house), the best in town. Standard rooms are compact, but handsome, with the same masculine air as the arresting ground floor.

Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest
"This is Budapest’s grandest hotel, a 1906 marvel of Secessionism (Central Europe’s take on Art Nouveau) that’s undergone an exceptional renovation: chandeliers and stained glass repaired and cleaned, mosaic tiles scrubbed, white stucco repainted."
