Four Seasons Gresham Palace

“Glamourous” doesn’t begin to describe Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest, where guest rooms are still worthy of the “palace” moniker. Amenities in the Art Deco-inspired spaces include plush terry robes, down duvets and pillows, iPod docking stations and DVD players, and 24-hour pampering of every sort, whether you require dry cleaning at 5 a.m. or a room service delivery at midnight. To get the full regal experience, we recommend booking the 1,464-square-foot Royal Suite, which is dotted with original Art Nouveau furniture and has a terrace overlooking the Danube, not to mention a living room with a flickering fireplace. It’s all so lovely, you may feel like packing your tiara.

A literal palace transformed into a fanciful hotel, with two locally loved restaurants and a spa dedicated to ancient Hungarian treatments.

Hands-off. This being a Four Seasons, gratis services include nightly turndown, children’s amenities, and the doting attention of a multilingual concierge.

You’re bringing the kids, and the hotel rolls out the red carpet for them, too, with mini bathrobes, loaner games galore, and even behind-the-scenes experiences at the zoo.

After a morning of exploring museums, there’s only one more thing on your to-do list: some serious R&R at the spa. Today, you’re being scrubbed down with sea salt and massaged with Hungarian thermal mud: an ancient treatment that makes you feel anything but.
