 | |  |  | Art otel Budapest: Modern Art and Style on the Danube Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating:   Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
Before I moved to Budapest, I would travel here frequently on business. In September 2002 I had a reservation to stay at the famous Gellert. Unfortunately, a pipe had exploded, so the hotel had to find me another place to stay. I stayed at the Art'otel and loved it so much, I chose it every subsequent trip. Our company also held a conference there for 50 people, and everyone agreed the hotel is a real treat.
The Art'otel is part of a chain of "boutique" or "design" hotels, some of which (including the one in Budapest) are owned by Park Plaza Hotels. Some people are getting tired of the design hotel concept, but for me, staying in a hotel that is unique in decor while at the same time offering the other amenities that one expects from a good hotel (service, location, etc.) is always a better option. (But being a unique design hotel is never an excuse to lack in other areas!) Yes this hotel is a chain and uses a formula becoming ubiquitous, but the daring interior (the exterior is rather bland) based on the modern minimalist art of American artist Donald Sultan is a joy to see. This is not just viewing art like in a gallery -- this is surrounding yourself with and living in art. Even if for just a short time!

| | | | Art otel Budapest: Best hotel downtown... Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction: | | | | |
We couldn't dream of a better accomodation in Budapest; this hotel designed by Donald Sultan is like an Art gallery, you can find art work everywhere, the design itself is something you wouldn't find anywhere else... Simply nothing to say about the comfort, air-conditionning is a must during summertime. This is not one of this ugly "hotel-big-tower" but several smaller house put together... Even more this is ideally located, on the banks of the river danube, opposite the parliament building, close to the buda castle district. One more thing, this hotel looks bloody expensive but if you can get one of their promotions, the prices are easily cut in half!
Be aware there is also a "Bw Hotel Art Hotel" in Budapest, this a totally different hotel but that could cause some confusion for the Taxi or the minibus at the airport if you simply ask for the "Art'Otel"...

This is a comfortable, stylish, conveniently placed hotel located on the Buda side of the Danube, with a great view of the Parliament building. Try to avoid room 209. This located next to a service room and is extremely noisy. I was kept awake by the sound of machinery and had to ask to be moved.
