Danubius Hotel Gellért

Summertime calls for soaking in sunshine while wading in refreshing waters, and with this historic hotel’s Relaxing Days in Gellért package, Budapest visitors are encouraged to do just that. During a three-night stay with a buffet breakfast included every morning, guests receive one 60-minute lava-stone massage and one 40-minute aromatherapy massage, along with a one-day pass to the grand Gellért Baths found adjacent to the hotel facilities, with both the indoor and outdoor pools accessible in the summer season; this offer is available through March 31.

3/7

Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace

Newly lauded as the third-best hotel in the world by Travel + Leisure magazine, we believe that this fairy-tale Art Nouveau palace could someday top the list. Escape from the summer heat beneath the fanciful crystal chandelier within this marvel of Magyar architecture by enjoying Herend Afternoon Tea here, a new offer presenting a delightful selection of gourmet snacks – like pumpkin scones and Hungarian pogácsa rolls topped with prosciutto – along with varied teas served in fine porcelain, served daily from 3pm to 6pm for 6,500 HUF per person.

4/7

InterContinental Budapest

Enjoy panoramic views over most of Budapest’s postcard superstars while savoring meaty treats and ice-cold suds during this hotel’s Beer & Burger Weeks, offered at the riverfront Corso Restaurant and its spacious terrace located on the Danube Promenade. Top-quality beefy delights include the western-style burger topped with cheese and grilled bacon and the burger with curry mustard, while a Greek-style turkey burger and a burger made with a fried cod fillet and rucola are also offered, all served with a refreshing selection of chilled beers through August 17.

5/7

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus

Literally shining in the heart of downtown Pest, this recently renovated modern hotel is a cosmopolitan hub of Budapest city life, notable for its impressive collection of restaurants – in addition to the fresh ÉS Bisztró offering hearty regional cuisine, this is the site of Budapest’s exclusive Nobu eatery. Stay steps away from them both for a considerable discount with the Tune in to Summer offer: through September 15, guests staying two nights save 10%, and guests staying four nights save 25% - and through August 31, guests staying three nights save 33%.

6/7

Le Méridien Budapest

Located directly in the city center, this refined five-star hotel is not difficult to find, and now it’s even easier to navigate a path here after the recent premiere of Longitude 19° 03’ – a chic lounge with sleek décor and timeless style. Launched beside the lobby after an extensive refurbishment, this welcoming hangout proffers a menu of flavorfully light dishes and breakfast served all day, and the scene becomes a lively locale in the summer evenings with cool signature drinks and the melodiously new-wave tunes of Hungary’s Nouvelle Vague ensemble.

7/7

 Mirage Fashion Hotel Budapest

With sweeping vistas over Heroes’ Square and City Park, this newly restored neo-Renaissance villa – built over a century ago by Hungary’s aristocratic Eszterházy family – is now equipped with modern facilities to provide uniquely attractive accommodations. Enhance this appeal with the Romantic Package offered here through October 31, including two nights in a superior double room, one breakfast in bed for two people, a box of chocolates, a bottle of champagne, and even a bouquet of red roses to complete the sizzling experience of summer loving in Budapest.
