Keeping Up With Corinthia Budapest

Corinthia Hotel Budapest’s one-bedroom Executive Suites come with large living areas.

Corinthia Hotel Budapest is rumored to be the establishment that inspired the popular film, “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” and we must say, the hotels’ facades look very similar. However, it’s not just film fame that’s pushing the hotel in the limelight. The grande dame has 14 new one-bedroom Executive Suites, 10 will be unveiled at the end of the month. They’ll come with large living areas, two separate bathrooms with a bathtub, shower and walk-in wardrobe. Nice Touch: Stays in the one-bedroom Executive Suites come with complimentary access to the Executive Lounge and the Royal Spa, where we suggest taking a dip in the almost 50-foot-long swimming pool and then warming up with a nice steam bath. We also urge visitors to speak to Tamas Ungar, the head concierge. He is also the president of the Hungarian Golden Key Association and, of course, knows of the best thermal spas in the area. His quick pick? The Rudas Baths, which is known for its octagonal pool and is the most famous of the Turkish baths in Budapest.
