We have travelled a lot and stayed in some fabulous hotels and this is one of the best. Pre arrival communication was excellent and they arranged for a car to meet us at the airport and indeed return us back there.
The location is excellent very close to some major attractions like Chain Bridge, the impressive St Stephens Basilica, Jewish quarter and the moving Shoes by the Danube memorial. We walked miles aided by directions from the very helpful concierge. They also booked us a night cruise, a trip to Széchenyi thermal baths and a restaurant.
The staff here, make this hotel so special. They are friendly, helpful and enthusiastic about their hotel.
The hotel itself looks unimposing outside but inside its incredible. The interior designer who got the brief to decorate it has made a lovely space with a very individual feel to the whole place. It's slightly quirky and we loved it. We were on the 6th floor of the classical wing in the Franz Josef Listz room. It was magnificent with an enormous bed and wonderful print of the great man himself next to it. It is described as a sun room and has a partial glass ceiling. The room was spotlessly clean and housekeeping staff were friendly and attentive. The bath was huge and there was a good size walk in shower in the bathroom plus it had lovely Molton Brown toiletries,
We ate here on the first night in the library room and the food was excellent with a dessert to die for called The Great Gatsby. We also went up to the roof bar every evening after we returned from dinner. This is a popular place with the "beautiful people" of Budapest and we found that we needed to book a table to ensure we could drink outside with the magnificent floodlight backdrop of St Stephens.
Another lovely offering of the Aria is complementary wine with cheese and biscuits every afternoon from 4pm until 6pm with a very accomplished pianist playing.
I cannot rate this hotel high enough. It far exceeded any expectations we had and we would like to thank all the staff for making our 3 night stay so wonderful and memorable.
