Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace
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 makeover. The Gresham has all the trappings of a 5-star Budapest hotel, including a fitness and wellness centre.

Buddha Bar Hotel
Housed in a former palace, the Buddha Bar Hotel exterior may have the classical characteristics of Budapest's higher-end lodgings, but inside it tells a more modern narrative. Funky but sleek, the hotel has a red and black colour scheme with Asian influences running throughout. Rooms are decked out in mod-cons, including 40 inch plasma TVs, fully stocked mini bars and oversized ensuite baths. It's centrally located on the main shopping street, so guests are in the thick of the action, but for those who don't wish to venture too far outside the hotel, there are two restaurants serving a mixture of Chinese and Japanese fare. Even if you're not a guest, it's worth popping in to enjoy a drink at the 6th floor Klotild Bar for views of Gellert Hill and Buda Castle.
