Fodor's Expert Review Marriott Budapest

Apáczai Csere János utca 4, Budapest, Budapest, 1052, Hungary

It may be one of the least attractive buildings in Pest, but the Marriott's prime Danube location makes for some breathtaking views: Gellért Hill, the Chain Bridge, and Castle Hill are all visible from every single guest room. North American–style hospitality begins with a buffet of pastries served daily in the lobby, while other facilities include a fitness center with river views, a spa with Jacuzzi and sauna, and a rooftop terrace bar. There are also two restaurants, the Hungarian food-focused DNB Budapest and the charming lounge bar Liz and Chain, named for the bridges on either side of the hotel.
