Aria Hotel Budapest Review

We continued our Eurotrip to Budapest, Hungary, which was a surprising gem of a city with a lot of character and charm.  We were lucky enough to get to stay at our second Aria property of the trip, but this time it was the Aria Hotel Budapest.  I cannot say enough nice things about the staff, rooms, service, and location of the Aria Hotel Budapest.

The Aria Hotel Budapest is a luxury boutique hotel with an exquisite design inspired by music. To compliment the musical concept, master designer Zoltan Varro’s vision was to simultaneously recreate the rich, lavish atmosphere of a historic Hungarian palace while also embracing visitors in the warmth and comfort of a private residence.

Each of the four wings is dedicated to one of four major genres of music: Classical, Opera, Contemporary, and Jazz. Each room and suite features caricatures by internationally acclaimed artist Joseph Blecha to celebrate the world’s greatest musical legends such as Maria Callas, Count Basie, Bob Dylan, James Brown and Hungary’s own Franz Liszt.  We were on the Contemporary floor – if you look closely in the pictures you will see our room was adorned with pictures of Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, and Amy Winehouse.

We were right in the heart of the city and everywhere we needed to go was within walking distance.  We enjoyed the high-tech rooms that had everything controlled by a master panel near the bed.  My favorite part about the room was the terrace that we could walk out to and enjoy breakfast or drinks at night.

Every day in the lobby there was a wine and cheese reception complete with a piano jazz singer who would take song requests.  This was such a nice break in the middle of the day and we highly enjoyed the piano player (who even played some Tina Turner for me).

The Aria Hotel Prague has a very popular rooftop restaurant and bar with amazing views of the city called High Note Sky Bar.  We loved going up to the rooftop each evening and taking in all of the views.

If you are ever in Budapest or are planning a trip, you must stay at Aria Hotel Budapest for a truly amazing experience.  Be prepared to feel pampered and leave wishing that you could stay forever!
