The St. Regis Budapest

Budapest's most distinguished new address has officially arrived. The St. Regis Budapest just opened inside the Klotild Palace, a Neo-Baroque landmark commissioned at the turn of the 20th century by Princess Klotild of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and recognized as a UNESCO-listed site that once served as the ceremonial entrance to Pest. The hotel offers 63 rooms and 39 suites, including the coveted Klotild Tower Suite, with guestrooms designed as private theatre boxes framed by sweeping views of the Danube and the Elisabeth Bridge. A grand staircase, a spa rooted in Budapest's bathing heritage, and a signature Crown Mary cocktail at the St. Regis Bar make this less a hotel stay and more an introduction to the city itself.
