Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest
A historic riverside beauty in Budapest
As one of the most beautiful hotels in Budapest, Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace is an art nouveau masterpiece on the banks of the Danube River. Facing the iconic Chain Bridge head on, with Buda Castle further in the backdrop, this historic luxury hotel has the best view in town.
Built by its British namesake Gresham Life Assurance Company in 1906, the space originally housed residential apartments for most of the 20th century before its transformation into a Four Seasons in 2004.
The building’s art nouveau beauty is legendary, from stained-glass windows once hidden on the rooftop during World War II to the Zsolnay mosaic tiles accenting the arcades of the Zrínyi Passage in the lobby.
The hotel has 179 rooms, and the standard accommodations are the largest in Budapest. You can also opt for fine dining at Kollázs Brasserie & Bar and relax at the rooftop spa.
