Many hotels use the 'palace' moniker without justification, but not the Gresham. Built in 1906, this architectural delight is a masterpiece of art nouveau design, both inside and out. Many of the fittings, including Zsolany ceramics and a stained glass window by Miksa Róth, are original, while the rest were lovingly restored in 2004 when the palace received a glorious make-over. The Gresham has all the trappings of a 5-star establishment, including a fitness and wellness centre, and all 179 rooms are blessed with art nouveau touches.

Kulturinnov is one of the few remnants of socialist hotel design left in Budapest. Its rooms are bland but adequate but there's no beating its location near the Matthias Church in Buda and the surreal feeling of staying in a communist throwback. Service is thoroughly modern and friendly.
