Budapest is a city that demands your full attention, but after a long day of travel or sightseeing, you want to have a hotel where you can relax in style. Following my Danube river cruise, I stayed at the majestic Matild Palace to personally experience the property and vet the service for my clients.
Matild Palace History
It was built in 1902 during the Belle Epoque era as one of two buildings with a road separating the two. Together they were known as the Klotild Palaces. Her Imperial and Royal Highness Maria Klotild of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha commissioned two architects Kálmán Giergl and Flóris Korb to build them. Back in the day the Matild Palace was the social home with the café, Belvárosi Kávéház taking center stage for creative minds to gather together. It became a true gathering place. Today, it stands as a UNESCO World Heritage site, offering my clients a rare opportunity to sleep within the walls of a royal legacy. This 5 Star hotel is part of the The Luxury Collection by Marriott.
The Swan Spa
Guests of the resort receive complimentary access to the spa. Speaking from personal experience it is a great place to unwind after a busy day of touring. When you enter the spa there is fresh fruit and flavored water waiting for you. I love the comfortable lounge area to put my feet up and just unwind. There is a steam room, salt room, and sauna for guests to enjoy.
Location
The location is ideal for travelers who value walkability. You are steps away from the Hungarian State Opera House, the iconic Elizabeth Bridge, and the scenic banks of the Danube River. I loved being so close to everything.
Food
For food you can eat at Spago by Wolfgang Puck at the resort and enjoy panoramic views from The Duchess rooftop bar. If you want to venture outside the hotel, there are plenty of restaurants nearby that you can walk to. There is a grocery store a little over a block away.
Concierge Team
The white glove service starts the moment you arrive. The concierge team will take your luggage upon arrival and once your room is ready your luggage will be there ready for you. I really appreciated that I was personally escorted to my room and was given a tour of the beautiful resort. This level of personalized service is exactly what I look for when vetting 5 star properties for my clients.
Elevated Guest Benefits
When I coordinate your stay at Matild Palace, my professional partnerships often allow for exclusive amenities that you cannot find on standard booking sites.
