Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest
The Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest lies in the heart of Budapest’s financial and shopping districts, and is just steps away from the Danube River. Over the last few years Budapest has experienced somewhat of a renaissance, catapulting it onto the list of must-visit European cities. Lonely Planet travel guide recently hailed Budapest as “More cosmopolitan than Prague, more romantic than Warsaw, and more beautiful than both…” A bold claim, considering the grandeur of Budapest’s more famous neighbors, but after a trip here, you’ll see that its certainly not unwarranted. It’s the perfect time to visit this thriving city that’s steeped in history, but has an eye on the future.
The stylish, modern rooms in The Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest, the city’s first luxury hotel, overlook stunning views of The Basilica of St. Stephen and the leafy Erzsebet Park. Standard rooms feature spacious bathrooms with underfloor heating, separate shower cubicle and bath, individually-controlled air conditioning, wireless internet, a large desk with office tools, and 24-hour room service and concierge service. The Suites offer an added layer of luxury. For example, penthouse-level Presidential Suites consist of a drawing room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, and two bathrooms. They feature spectacular views of Budapest. The warm colors, elegant furniture, and spacious study of the Erszebet Suite exude a homely atmosphere.
The relaxing atmosphere and great food at the Bistro Jardin make it the perfect place to catch up with a friend or to impress an important client. The restaurant serves up Hungarian specialties and boasts a collection of over 100 local and international wines, including Tokaji wines that date back as far as 1957. By day, the Bar/Lobby Lounge offers live classical music and daily afternoon tea with Tea Forte, the famous Corvinus Cake, and a variety of other daytime delights. By night, the lights are low, tunes from the live piano blend into the background, and the expert bartender mixes your drinks perfectly, all in an environment that evokes a warm feeling of nostalgia. No visit to this luxury hotel would be complete without an outdoor candlelit dinner on the Kempinski Terrace, which overlooks some of Budapest’s best scenery.
There’s a lot to see and do in ‘The Paris of Central Europe.’ Beer enthusiasts will love the Dreher Brewery and Beer Museum, Hungary’s largest brewery, which features lavish tasting sessions, and an on-site museum that shows how beer is made and bottled. Other interesting museums include the Electrotechnology Museum, The Applied Arts Museum, the House of Hungarian Photographers, the Hungarian National Museum, and the Telephony Museum, which houses the world’s first telephone switchboard. Take a dip in the Kiraly Baths, genuine Turkish steam baths built in 1570 that lay under picturesque skylit dome. If these aren’t hot enough for you, try the world-famous Gellert Baths, a thermal spa where the water is set at a balmy 111 degrees Farenheint and the setting resembles an ornate cathedral. Hike through the rolling Buda Hills, or take a leisurely stroll down the gorgeous tree-lined boulevard at Andrassy Ut, Budapest’s city park that’s so beautiful, UNESCO has earmarked it as a World Heritage Site. A trip to the top of the iconic Basilica of St. Stephen offers some of the best views in Hungary. Budapest offers quite a few interesting nightlife options, like A38 Hajo, a hip party spot set aboard a no-longer active 1968 Ukrainian transport ship, and Columbus Jazzklub, an ‘Irish Pub’ set aboard a boat moored in the Danube River that features great live music. These boats are docked, but off course, no trip to Budapest would be complete without an enjoyable cruise down the scenic Danube river on a more mobile vessel.
