Description: The Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest is a landmark on Roosevelt Square, at the foot of the historic Chain Bridge. It is probably Budapest’s best hotel and has the most distinguished architecture. The 179 guest rooms, including 14 suites, reflect the grandeur of the hotel's exalted location and all the beauty of the Art Nouveau period. Views are sensational, ranging from intimate interior courtyards to the sparkling Danube River, the Chain Bridge, the Buda Hills, the Royal Castle, or the city.
There is an elegant backdrop of sweeping staircases and a magnificent glass cupola. Luxurious comforts, riverside dining, indigenous spa treatments, and state-of-the-art fitness make this a wonderful base for exploring Budapest if your credit card can stand the pace (or if the boss is paying).
There is a wide choice of rooms. With city or courtyard views, Superior Rooms are located on the Hotel’s first to fifth floors. Slightly larger Deluxe Rooms offer similar views while Gresham Rooms feature similar views and special ambience with one king-size or two twin beds. The Danube Superior Rooms offer a step-out balcony from the fifth floor with views of the Danube. Danube Deluxe Rooms boast similar views, as do the more spacious Danube Premier Rooms. Then there are suites offering extra space and luxury.
The hotel has some excellent restaurant options. Pava Restaurant has a contemporary Italian menu emphasising fresh produce. It boasts stunning views across Roosevelt Square to the Danube. The restaurant seats 78. An alternative is Gresham Kávéház, which is modelled on a café long frequented by Budapest’s intelligentsia from the nearby Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and is adjacent to the magnificent Hotel lobby. It features contemporary fare: appetisers (including foie gras), soups, sandwiches, and a wide selection of mouth-watering pastries. In keeping with the city’s coffeehouse tradition, a range of coffees is served, along with scrumptious afternoon teas. The quietly inviting and stylishly romantic atmosphere is enhanced by the tunes of the 1900s, played by a jazz trio during dinner. The Bar is probably my favourite place beneath its magnificent glass cupola. Light appetisers and refreshments are served, including a selection of martinis and local and international beers.
Inspired by Budapest's rich spa heritage, The Spa offers an extensive range of rejuvenating therapies, massages, and treatments. Located on the top floor of the hotel, there are seven private massage and treatment rooms, as well as a unisex sauna, separate steam rooms for men and women, and a whirlpool. You can continue your spa relaxation in the indoor pool located on the top floor of the hotel, next to the spa. Underwater light and music calm you as you swim. There is also an adjacent whirlpool. Poolside provides a chance to refresh yourself with a cup of hot tea or some fresh fruit.
