2 Best Hotels in Budapest, Hungary

Background Illustration for Hotels

The standard for hotels in Budapest is increasing. Large international chain hotels offer the consistency you'd expect in both maintenance and service, while smaller locally owned properties may harken back to less service-oriented times. In general, prices are lower than in other European capitals, so you can get much more for your money in Budapest than in, say, Paris or London or even Prague.

Brody House

$$$ | Bródy Sándor utca 10, Budapest, 1088, Hungary Fodor's Choice

Set on a leafy street in the revitalized Palace District, Brody House was once the home of a pioneering 19th-century physician, now converted into one of the city's coolest boutique hotels. The imposing and elegant facade belies its beautiful, bohemian interior; light-filled rooms are individually designed, featuring an eclectic mix of art and reclaimed furnishings against unfinished plaster walls for a stylish, rough-luxe effect. Pre-COVID, the hotel was part of Brodyland, a venture that once included a member's club, studios, and cultural events—it's slowly being revived, but for now, Brody House continues to embody Budapest's unique creative spirit. 

Pros

  • Feels like a historic home
  • Edgy luxury
  • Access to Budapest's creative circles

Cons

  • Only eight rooms so it can be hard to get a reservation
