Review
Built at the start of World War I in 1914, the Ritz-Carlton represents a marriage of historic luxury and modern Art-Deco design. The lobby’s comfortable and chic look perfectly complements the elegant, neutrally designed rooms. With beautiful art, marble bathrooms, separate bath and showers and heated floors, the 200 rooms and suites are extremely comfortable and homey. Many offer beautiful views of Erzsebet Square, St Stephen’s Basilica and the city center. Situated in the heart of the city and just a few blocks from the Danube, the Ritz-Carlton is popular with cruise ship travelers and often hosts conferences. The property offers guests an abundance of excellent shopping, dining and sightseeing within a close radius, so for those who don’t want to spend a lot of time in a taxi, this is a good choice.
Like many in Budapest, the property’s spa is well known for its indoor pool with natural light and amenities that include a sauna, Jacuzzi and state-of-the-art fitness room.
Who Should Stay
Anyone looking for a central location and more affordable rates than the Four Seasons.
