Fodor's Review:

One of the newer five-star properties in Budapest—and, with 414 rooms, the biggest—the Royal is back to its 1896 origins when it opened as a luxury hotel for the Magyar Millennium. Josephine Baker stayed here in 1928; her guestbook entry is displayed in a case the near the entrance. The expansive atrium lobby is full of Italian marble and wrought-iron ornamentation, and the hotel's luxurious Royal Spa—in part a dazzling reconstruction of a spa designed and built in the late 1880s that operated here until 1944—opened in July 2006 replete with a swimming pool, saunas, steam room, Jacuzzis, massage salons, treatment facilities, and tropical showers. (The spa is free to guests, 10,000 HUF a day for others.) Guest rooms are stylish with dark woods and jewel-tone upholstery; bathrooms are all-Italian, from marble floors to gleaming fixtures. Some rooms look inward onto the lobby. Brasserie Royal's Sunday "V.I.K." (Very Important Kids) brunch is very popular.

I was at this hotel less than 2 yrs. ago and it was fantastic. The rooms, dining room and spa are 5 star. I am returning to Budapest in less than 3 weeks and will be staying there again.
