Within footsteps of the Danube River and in heart of the city, The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest is a luxurious stay rich with history. With a heritage that dates back to the 20th century, it’s no wonder that guests walk away experiencing the finest of Budapest’s diverse culture. 
Built for a former Italian insurance company and now a protected historic building, the hotel was recently renovated to what it is today. Set to The Ritz-Carlton’s signature touch of luxurious rooms and exquisite details, the hotel exudes elegance. A warm welcome brings you inside as you pass through the bright and modern entry. Though you are destined to turn left upon entering for check-in, straight in front of you lies the Kupola Lounge with an exquisite stained glass cupola piece. It seems as though everything revolves around this stunning installation, and you’ll find yourself passing by each time to stop and stare.
Even though there is plenty to do just outside, there’s a lot of discovering to do at the hotel. With dining being a highlight at The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest, you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner right inside. The newly opened Deak St. Kitchen showcases Hungarian food for lunch and dinner inside a space that is to die for. It’s the place to spend an afternoon on their terrace, sipping down exclusive Hungarian wines only found on their menu. In the morning, head to the Kupola Lounge for an exquisite breakfast, with choices of a well-done buffet or a la carte. In the afternoon, watch the Kupola Lounge transform into a cozy space perfected for afternoon tea, a highlight and signature of The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest. To end the day, look no further than the Kupola Bar to rub shoulders with locals and enjoy cocktails.

The rooms and suites at The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest showcase the best of Hungary through refined decor, and every amenity you could need. The rooms are spacious and well thought out where it seems no detail was overlooked. Though it holds elegance and luxury, the rooms are equally contemporary — it’s the best of both worlds.

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Flights
Use Skyscanner to find the best flights. It searches 100s of airlines and websites across the globe to ensure you’re not missing out on any route options or deals.
2. Book Your Accommodations
Use Booking.com for hotels and guest houses. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
Use Viator or Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check both as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Car
Use Discover Cars or Rentalcars.com to find the best car rental deals. I recommend comparing rental agency reviews on Google to ensure you are booking with the best company in that destination, as the reviews are often more accurate than the car rental search engines.
5. Don’t Forget Airport Lounge Access
Get a Priority Pass membership to gain access to 1,400+ VIP lounges and airport experiences worldwide. The Priority Pass app is the first thing I check when I have a layover. I’ve been a member for over a decade, and having a comfortable place to relax before and between flights makes air travel so much more enjoyable.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, and cancelations, etc.). I use it frequently for my travels to stay protected.
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
