The Ritz-Carlton Brings Contemporary Luxury to Budapest, with The Opening of First Hotel in Hungary

There are few cities in the World that can rival Budapest's setting, history and culture.  As separate towns of Buda and Pest until 1873, each side of Hungary's capital still retains a unique atmosphere and identity.  Whether guests choose to wander the meandering cobbled streets of the World-Heritage listed Buda Castle district, take to the rejuvenating water from one of the city's many thermal springs, or simply enjoy tasting the renowned Hungarian cuisine and wines, Budapest maintains its hold as one of Europe's most alluring cities.

A blend of modern and elegant design in a historic building reflecting the vibrancy of the city

The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest, is housed within a protected historic building, located on Elizabeth Square, with views over St Stephens Basilica.
