Location & neighborhood

As already mentioned, the Four Seasons Budapest is located directly on the Chain Bridge. This means it's just a few steps to the most popular stores, restaurants and sights in Pest. And you are also promptly on the other side of the Danube. There, the sights in the castle district are waiting to be discovered. From the hotel it is to not far to any must-see in Budapest .

Rooms & suites

The hotel is the epitome of long-gone elegance. Just like the lobby, which welcomes its guests with vaulted glass ceilings, Art Nouveau elements and polished marble, the rooms and suites also score high on style. Of the 179 rooms, 54 are Superior Rooms, 55 Gresham Rooms, 51 Danube Rooms and 19 suites. They are all generously proportioned. Bathrooms - larger than many a competitor's hotel room - feature white and dark marble. All have minibars and complimentary tea and coffee. The Danube Rooms also give guests views of Castle Hill and the Chain Bridge. Some of them have a small balcony.

Food & Drinks

At Kollázs Brasserie & Bar, the thoughtful and extremely attentive service staff serve an exciting mix of national and international cuisine. Octopus & Scallops and melt-in-your-mouth French Toast are considered the restaurant's signature dishes. In addition to lunch and dinner, Head Chef Árpád Győrffy and his team also create excellent breakfasts. Depending on the Corona situation, this is served à la carte or in combination with a buffet. On Saturdays and Sundays, an afternoon tea beckons. By this point a the latest you feel at least semi-noble. In the evening, the Múzsa Bar in the lobby turns into a meeting place for mixology fans.

Wellness & Fitness

After a day of sightseeing and shopping in Budapest, relax in the hotel's spa with a treatment or massage. In the sauna and steam bath, tired muscles are awakened again, while a round of swimming in the pool makes everyday life seem far away. For those who still have energy left, there is a modern gym.

Service & Amenities

In many other hotels around the world, one senses that skilled workers in tourism are currently in short supply. Perhaps because they all work at the Four Seasons Budapest? After all, it's no exaggeration to say that the staff takes care of guests in a way befitting a luxury hotel. Other services include super-fast WiFi and limousine service.

A Tip from the editorial office

While all rooms and suites offer the usual Four Seasons standards, one absolutely stands out: the Danube Room 426. What makes the room so special is not only the view of the river and the castle. It's also one of the few rooms with a balcony. The cocktails in the bar are a dream. Be sure to try them: Tiszavirág. The cocktail, which translates as "mayfly," is so great that you'll be raving about it long after you get home.
