Keep an eye out for a glass showcase in the lobby; it contains the hotel's century-old guestbook.
Even amongst the architectural wonders of Budapest, Corinthia Hotel Budapest stands out like a beacon. With a history dating back to the 1800s, its grandeur and opulence have made it one of Europe's landmark hotels for generations.
The central atrium alone is worth the price of admission. It soars up a full six stories to a glass ceiling, and is lined with guest rooms which overlook the space. The mosaic floor, countless columns, and surrounding wrought ironwork only add to the feeling that, perhaps, you should have a Count or Countess on your arm as you walk in.
The rooms are spacious and modern, with views over the central atrium, or out over the rooftops of Old Budapest. After a day of sightseeing, museum-going, and strolling along the Danube, you'll have plenty of dining options to choose from. There are five restaurants at Corinthia Hotel Budapest, with the Royal Kávéház & Champagne Lounge being especially popular, both for the elegant ambiance and the bubbly.
