Art’otel Budapest

Castle District


The Art’otel Budapest is a minimalist establishment that would not look out of place in London or New York. But what makes this 165-room place unique is that it cobbles together a seven-storey modern building and an 18th-century baroque building, linking them with a leafy courtyard-atrium. We love the gaming theme throughout. Rooms with Danube views cost extra.
