Centrally located for the classic tourist areas of Vörösmarty tér and Váci utca, the Kempinski Corvinus is a modern hotel of straight-lined stone and glass, very different to most of Budapest’s luxury hotels that are in converted 19th-century mansions. Rooms are comfortable, light, and spacious with some art Deco touches. Leisure, pleasure, and culture are high on the list of amenities. The modern setting includes a ground-floor promenade with shops, a café, a deli, and a small gallery featuring new and young artists. You can kick back in the Living Room in a comfy sofa with a book or catch one of the regular Saturday night concerts. The spa is fitted with a pool with jet streams, a Finnish sauna, steam baths, a gym, and offers a range of treatments. You can choose from various eateries in the hotel including a Nobu and the buzzy ÉS Bisztró or chill out in the Blue Fox cocktail bar.
