BUDA BEAUTY

Experience Art Nouveau at its best at the Royal Suite at Four Seasons Gresham Palace Budapest

-

Located on the banks of the Danube River at the foot of the Chain Bridge, Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest is a reimaginin­g of the city’s century-old Gresham Palace, acclaimed as one of the world’s finest Art Nouveau buildings with its grand staircases, stained glass, mosaics and ironwork.

The 179-room hotel is a historical landmark that combines the comforts of the 21st century with the elegance of the past. Its 19 suites reflect the architectu­ral heritage of Gresham Palace, with tall, vaulted ceilings and curved windows. One of the most magnificen­t is the Royal Suite, which combines decorative wooden Art Deco furnishing with one of the most all-embracing views from any hotel suite in the city.

Located on the hotel’s second floor, the suite reflects Budapest’s imperial grandeur and youthful energy and looks out onto Buda Castle, the Chain Bridge and the Buda Hills from its furnished step-out balcony on the Pest side of the city. Offering acres of living space (there’s a separate dining area with a table that seats six), the suite seamlessly juxtaposes Art Deco aesthetics against contempora­ry details like abstract patterned rugs. Pour yourself a glass of wine and watch the cars zoom over to Buda and drive back to Pest on this 19th century cast iron beauty draped across the Danube before retiring to the crackle of the fireplace. fourseason­s.com
