Art-Nouveau Majesty on the Danube: Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest

Budapest, Hungary
Located at Széchenyi István tér 5-6, 1051 Budapest, Hungary, the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace occupies one of the city’s most distinguished addresses — right across the Danube from the Buda side and steps from major landmarks. 

Historic Building & Setting

The hotel is housed in the former Gresham Palace, an Art-Nouveau masterpiece completed in 1906.  After a full restoration, it reopened in 2004 as a Four Seasons hotel, the building’s elegant architecture and decorative details meticulously revived. 
The location is unmatched: facing the Chain Bridge, with views across to the Royal Castle and the Buda hills — a vantage that sets the tone for a stay that is both urbane and scenic. 

Accommodation & Design

Accommodations combine rich historic character with modern luxury. The hotel features around 179 rooms and suites according to some sources. 
Typical room types include “Danube River-View Rooms”, “Gresham Rooms”, “Superior Rooms”, and suites that offer elevated views of the river, castle or city skyline. 
Interior highlights: restored stained-glass windows, mosaic tiles by noted artisans, grand ironwork and a lobby passage that conjures the era when the building was erected. 

Dining, Wellness & Experiences

Dining: The hotel hosts fine dining and brasserie venues, including its signature restaurant and bar “KOLLÁZS Brasserie & Bar”. Guest reviews highlight quality cuisine and splendid ambiance. 
Wellness: The spa and pool area warrant special mention. There’s a top-floor spa with treatment rooms, indoor infinity-edge pool overlooking the Danube, sauna/steam and fitness facilities, offering a full luxury-hotel wellness experience. 
Location convenience: The hotel is just a short walk from major city nodes, making access to shopping, culture and transit very easy.
