Belle Époque Glamour on the Danube

The St. Regis Budapest brings the glamour and vitality of the Belle Époque to one of the city’s most elegant addresses. Drawing on a dual heritage inspired by New York socialite Caroline Astor and Hungarian royalty Maria Klotild, the hotel blends Budapest’s aristocratic traditions with the cosmopolitan spirit of the St. Regis brand.

Rooms with a Sense of History

Guests ascend a grand staircase into a spectacular floral-fretwork atrium before retiring to one of 102 guestrooms and suites. Interiors echo the rhythmic flow of the Danube and the region’s rich artisanal traditions, combining refined detailing with contemporary comfort. The suite collection ranges from Junior Suites to expansive one- and two-bedroom options, many with private balconies, while the elegant Klotild Tower Suite occupies the hotel’s distinctive domed corner tower.

Klotild Patisserie & The St. Regis Bar

Housed within the building’s historic pharmacy, Klotild Patisserie offers beautifully crafted confections in an atmospheric setting. At The St. Regis Bar, the mood is more spirited, with expertly mixed cocktails and the hotel’s signature Bloody Mary reimagined with distinctive Hungarian flavours. It is a sophisticated setting for an aperitif, evening gathering or a taste of Budapest’s legendary social scene.

A Spa Inspired by Budapest

The St. Regis Spa offers a luxurious alternative to the city’s traditional bathhouses, drawing on Budapest’s deep-rooted spa culture while introducing contemporary rituals. Bespoke treatments by Omorovicza and Sothys are complemented by private treatment rooms, a swimming pool, hammam and sauna, creating a serene sanctuary in the heart of the city.

The St. Regis Art of Hospitality

Every stay is elevated by the brand’s signature St. Regis Butler Service and distinctive rituals, from afternoon traditions to evening cocktails. With its Belle Époque-inspired interiors, historic setting, refined dining and deeply indulgent spa, The St. Regis Budapest offers a polished interpretation of the city’s grand tradition of hospitality—where heritage and contemporary luxury meet on the Danube.
