The 4 star gellert Hotel is a great place to relax, but this of course has a price.

The Kempinski Hotel Corvinus is of course nothing like camping...:)

Locals tend to call it "Kempi", which pretty much resebles to the Hungarian word Kemping (Camping) in writing and in pronunciation as well, that's where my poor joke is coming from :)

It's an elegant yet modern hotel in the heart of the city, offering everything an expensive hotel should offer: elegant restaurants (Bistro Jardin and Restaurant Giardino), pub, lounge, spa, shops, etc...

Unique Qualities: Well located, excellent service, luxury treatments in the spa

The building of Le Meridien in Budapest was used as a headquarter for the Budapest Police through decades.

It has been fully rebuilt and refurbished some years ago and became from an ugly old building (even though it was listed as a historical building for ages...) a very decent looking hotel building.

It offers all the usual services expected from a 5 star hotel from nightly shoe shine to the umbrellas at the concierge desk. It also has meeting facilities and an excellent restaurant called "Le Bourbon". The health club with swimming pool, jakuzzi and steam cabin is almost obvious :)

Various room sizes from 24-30 sqm superior rooms to 100 sqm diplomatic suites.They have of course handicapped access as well.

Unique Qualities: Very good location, excellent restaurant, good services - bt this is sort of normal at this level.
