Fodor's Expert Review Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest

The moment you step inside the Kempinski it's clear you're in one of Budapest's finest five-star hotels, as the lovely lobby area gives way to a charming promenade lined with cafés, bars, takeaway delis, and even a small art gallery, not to mention two exceptional restaurants: the swanky Japanese-fusion Nobu and the steak-focused brasserie ÉS Bisztró. Upstairs, the spacious rooms and suites offer custom-made art deco fittings and furnishings, smart LED TVs, and large marble bathrooms. The second-floor spa has a gym, pool, steam bath, and multiple saunas, and offers treatments from both eastern and western traditions.
