One place to soak in the views and experience the bustling capital of Budapest is to book an overnight stay at the Budapest Marriott Hotel.

It helps that the Budapest capital and the iconic Marriott are both having their grand moments as I write this. Recently Budapest has acquired the title, “Best European Destination” with record-breaking arrival numbers of visitors flocking to see venerable sites in the former Eastern bloc country.

Situated on the Pest side of the Danube River the Budapest Marriott Hotel provides guests with a great location for city sightseeing in a recently renovated venue that’s big with the conference crowd and leisure guests who enjoy Marriott services and loyalty perks.

Ever since the Communistic sixties when this property debuted on the banks of the Duna steps away from the Hungarian Parliament and the Vigado Concert Hall, the hotel has been welcoming guests.

While the facade has retained that emblematic vintage look, expect a new heightened sense of modern as you walk into the sleek sophisticated interiors.

A recent sleepover proved to be the perfect precursor for a Danube River cruise on the Avalon Envision, the newest Suite Ship from Avalon Waterways. As the sun dipped behind the fabled Castle Hill we saw the Buda Castle illuminated in a sky ablaze in rich reds with an assembly of river ships passing by our river view room.

In the comfort of your suite, you get to see all the brilliant bragging rights of beautiful Budapest.

Now why should you go?

DiningBudapest Marriott DNB Budapest

Choose from two casual dining experiences: either the refurbished restaurant, DNB Budapest or the new Liz and Chain Lounge Bar.

DNB Budapest is the go-to for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With a redefined concept and brand new menu, there are plenty of hot and cold food stations where chefs prepare freshly made omelets on the spot. Enjoy a farm-to-table concept that showcases the Hungarian produce and celebrates the different wine regions of the country.

In line with the new hotel design, the interior of the restaurant was inspired by the Bauhaus and cubist artworks, giving it more a residential look than usual hotel public spaces.

There’s a cool mix of antique brass, blackened steel, granite with a blend of oak and white Carrara marble tabletops that give these interiors a subdued posh vibe. We like the leather seating on the banquettes and the weathered oak bar stools.

A big selling feature at the DNB Budapest is the amazing city panorama.

The 360° quadrangle bar space offers a great quality time for both hotel guests and locals, global travelers and visitors, corporate and leisure guests. The bar regularly schedules tastings, terrace parties, and special tea afternoons.

Liz and Chain is also an extension of the lobby and at the social center of the hotel that transitions between coffee bar by day and Palinka and wine station by night. Distinctive for its infinite wine menu, classic artisan brews, and cocktails, guests instinctively gather to disconnect and reconnect over the best of Hungarian fare.
