Hotel Aria Budapest

Hotel Aria Budapest welcomes you into its colorful scene, an ode to the world of music. The historic city center awaits right at your doorstep, ready to be explored alongside your Ker & Downey guide.

Property Details

The design of Hotel Aria Budapest resembles a historic Hungarian palace that’s undergone a playful makeover. Vibrant colors and whimsical details come to life within the neoclassical property. The jazzy-looking lobby invites you to tap dance your way to your room along the keyboard carpet unfurled at your feet.

All the rooms and suites at Hotel Aria Budapest are a visual feast. Rich tones of turquoise and purple, floral wallpaper, and quirky artwork celebrate opera, jazz, classical, and contemporary musical legends. Fall into your pillow-topped king bed anchored with a tufted headboard for dreams of Madame Butterfly and Carmen. There’s a lot of velvet, pop, and pizzazz all across the board.

Private open balconies give you a beautiful view of the Music Garden Courtyard. Onyx bathrooms feature separate tubs and showers, plus heated towel racks for chilly mornings. Take notes on the French-style writing table or lay back on the elegant chaise lounge. Embrace the local culture in the Liszt Studio, inspired by the 19th-century Hungarian composer.

Live performances happen daily at Hotel Aria Budapest. Meet the musical director—a gentleman passionate about Hungarian music and culture—who will point you in the right direction to discover his city’s charms. The hotel’s digital music library is also at your disposal, a Hungarian mix tape you’re sure to enjoy.

Head to the year-round roof garden for panoramic views of Budapest. It’s a magical spot where the rooftops and the dome of St. Stephen’s Basilica shimmer day and night.

Your day begins with breakfast. Artisan honey, hazelnut cream, and homemade jams are a sweet treat. Afternoons are well spent in the-glass enclosed courtyard sampling Hungarian cheese with red, white, and rose wines. Suspended violins hover above your table at the Stradivari restaurant.

Get into the local groove at the opulent Hungarian State Opera. The grand staircase and heavenly Apotheosis of Music frescoe are reason enough to pay a visit to this storied limestone ode to opera and orchestra. After a day of exploring, descend into the complimentary Harmony Spa for detoxifying treatments, or try the Infared Sauna.
